Boxing is just show business with blood.
Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.
I've seen George Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won.
Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us.
I like boxing movies. One of the hardest things for me to watch as far as boxing films, is the boxing. The actual boxing usually sucks.
Sorry dude, but we're in a boxing match and you went against your word and tried to make me look weak and stupid in front of 17 million people. That's just not gonna happen.
I developed that for a long time. I also developed 'Sugar Sweet Science' at New Line and that didn't happen. That was a boxing movie. And between all that there were a couple of other things.
All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him.
New York's like a boxing match. In Hollywood, it's like a Fellini movie or something.
All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none. So when the fighter is through, he is through. While he was fighting his management was very excited for him, but now that he is done, that management team is moving on.
You have a small period of time when you can perfect your career and become good at it. A lot of guys get distracted, which only hurts them. You must stay focused and work very hard at boxing.
Boxing was not the sport that I thought is was due to all the politics.
Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.
Attack is only one half of the art of boxing.
I love boxing. There's something fierce about using your body's force that way.
