George Foreman Quotes

If I could take a punch like that, I might have been able to think up a name besides George for all my sons Picture Quote #1

I named all my sons George Edward Foreman. And I tell people, ‘If you’re going to get hit as many times as I’ve been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield - you’re not going to remember many names.’ Picture Quote #1

I tell my sons all the time, ‘The most important thing in your life is fitness,’ but a lot of fighters go overboard Picture Quote #1

The Olympic Gold medal in 1968 was definitely the highest moment of my career. It was a dream come true. I was a 19-year-old boy, and it was just amazing to be standing on top of the podium and hearing the National Anthem in the background Picture Quote #1

I always carried a small American flag red white and blue with me so people would know I was from America Picture Quote #1

If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. I take that one step further. You shouldn’t do anything unless you do it right Picture Quote #1

The greatest asset, even in this country, is not oil and gas. It’s integrity. Everyone is searching for it, asking, ‘Who can I do business with that I can trust?’ Picture Quote #1

Filling a need is not merely good business; it’s a basic attitude towards life. If you see a need, do whatever you can to meet that need Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be the best street fighter in Houston, Texas. And I thought if I got a trophy or two, I’d go back home, and everyone would be afraid of me. I had one fight in 67, the first one. In 68 of October, I was an Olympic gold-medalist, a dream come true, with a total of 25 boxing matches Picture Quote #1

As bad as your situation may be, someone else always has it worse than you Picture Quote #1

Plant a seed of greatness in your children. Speak a word of encourgement to someone who needs to hear it. Inspire someone to be a better person. One day you’ll reap a harvest, and your world will become a better place to live Picture Quote #1

Let the other guy have whatever he wants before the fight. Once the bell rings he’s gonna be disappointed anyway Picture Quote #1

I didn’t come back for the money. I just got sick of beating people up for free Picture Quote #1

I’ve been on the opposite side of decisions before when the crowd would be booing and saying that I lost. I’ve lived with it. Judging in boxing has been same since the beginning, and it isn’t gonna change Picture Quote #1

I started a youth center in Houston. The kids would come in and want to learn to box; they wanted to tear up the world, beat up the world. And I’d try to show them they didn’t need anger. They didn’t need all that killing instinct they’d read about. You can be a human being and pursue boxing as a sport Picture Quote #1

I never get upset about what I read in the newspaper. I realize that every human being can make a difference in this world Picture Quote #1

We fought in 1974 - that was a long time ago. After 1981, we became the best of friends. By 1984, we loved each other. I am not closer to anyone else in this life than I am to Muhammad Ali. Why? We were forged by that first fight in Zaire, and our lives are indelibly linked by memories and photographs, as young men and old men Picture Quote #1

I got a strength coach. My wife. She gets big chains, and at night she puts them around the refrigerator. They are so strong, I can’t break them Picture Quote #1

I’m on the record for five losses or something like that, but the one guy who really whipped me was Muhammad Ali. And it taught me one big lesson. That no matter how big and strong you are, you’re going to have to use your mind. You must think things out Picture Quote #1

Boxing has been the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. The biggest challenge in my life. I was a boxer. That was hard. Everything else is pretty easy Picture Quote #1

My favorite drink is water - the bland one: Evian. I stick with that. I celebrate in the evening sometimes with Perrier. That’s why I love coming to California. They’re always talking to you about bottled water Picture Quote #1

I’d have to say losing the title to Ali in 74 was the lowest moment in sports for me. It was the most devastating thing in my boxing career, and it still hurts to this day Picture Quote #1

It would be hard to throw a punch to someone who wasn’t a boxer, who wasn’t in the ring, and who didn’t have on a pair of boxing gloves and who hadn’t been training Picture Quote #1

We all think we’ve got one more boxing match in us, and that, probably, will be the downfall of Floyd Mayweather, George Foreman, Manny Pacquiao. We’ll overstay our welcome Picture Quote #1

I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you’ve got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing Picture Quote #1

I dread handshakes. I’ve got some problems with my hands, and everywhere I go, people want to impress me with their grip. To make it worse, now women are coming up with that firm shake. So I’ll say, ‘Gimme five!’ If a boy wants a handshake, I’ll just give him a hug Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of guys who are successful, they make a lot of big money, I mean millions overnight with a contract, and they don’t understand the evaporation. It evaporates. You’re always back to square one. I found that out, so integrity is how I do business. That’s my main asset Picture Quote #1

When I left boxing in 1977 to be a preacher, I couldn’t make a fist after I learned about Jesus Christ Picture Quote #1

But boxing was my profession. I had to go back the second time because I was broke and I couldn’t just go and get a college degree and earn it. I had too many bills, too many families Picture Quote #1

There’s never been a boxer better than Joe Louis. You’d take one shot from him and you were sure he’d have seven or eight more coming for you. Certainly Muhammad Ali was the greatest man ever to fight, but not the greatest boxer Picture Quote #1
