"I'am not predictor of fights, but I..." - Quote by Mike Tyson

“I can't change myself. I'm Mike Tyson. I'm a regular kid from the getto striving to do something positive with myself. I happen to fight well.”

“When I'm on stage, I'm not me playing me. I'm somebody else doing me. I could never go on stage and be like, "Hey, I'm Mike Tyson. My mother and father was in the sex industry." That's the politically correct way to say it, but I would really say, "My mother and father were pimps and whores. This is my life." I could never do that as Mike Tyson. Because I'd feel sorry for myself. But if I could be objective about it and be somebody else, portraying Mike Tyson, saying this story, then it's easy sailing.”

“I try my best to learn from other people's mistakes. I have a lot of respect for people who can change.”

“Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.”

“People relate to fighters so much because fighting reflects life.”

“Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.”

“Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future.”

“We who have seen him now, light on his feet, smooth moving as a leopard, a young man with an old man's science, the most beautiful fighting machine I have ever seen, may live to see him fat, slow, old, and bald taking a beating from a younger man. But I would like to hazard a prediction that whoever beats Joe Louis in an honest fight in the next fifteen years will have to get up the floor to do it.”

“I can predict with absolute certainty that within another generation there will be another world war if the nations of the world do not concert the method by which to prevent it.”
