George Foreman Quotes

In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.

I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.

I say the sweet science is to hit and not get hit.

I say the sweet science is to understand not only how to fight coming forward, how to be a big puncher, but also understand, if you run into a guy who can take your punch for the first time, how to react.

I do best when guys come at me. Stylistically, the Ricky Hatton fight is the best fight for me.

Attack is only one half of the art of boxing.

I was a left hooker, and I loved hooking. I also really liked to jab and mix it up right away.

They call it the rope-a-dope. Well, I'm the dope. Ali just laid on the rope and I, like a dope, kept punching until I got tired. But he was probably the most smart fighter I've ever gotten into the ring with.

A jab is established through timing and that's how I take it. Cause I have a 76-inch reach but I'm not worried about range. I'm looking to establish that timing so I can see when that chin is available or I see that the nose is available, I can pop it.
