I definitely proved that I'm more than just a puncher, but I'm also a puncher.
I won my first 10 fights by knockout. The money was getting larger at the same time.
Tyson is a lot better than I thought, a lot better. People can talk about Spinks all they want... Tyson is the true champion.
Charles Martin, we watched him. He won the IBF championship of the world, but we don't think he is anything special.
If I look at the fighters that are coming through, fighters like Carl Froch for instance, do I worry about fighters like that? Course not, I could eat them for breakfast.
I am the biggest face of boxing right now. That's how I feel. I am the greatest of this era.
I've knocked a ton of guys out. I know the power I have and the advantages I have against the best in the world.
This guy [Tyson Fury] really wants to prove himself in the ring and confirm what he keeps telling everyone, that he's the best in the world.
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.
Kell Brook has a lot of heart. He showed it against Golovkin and when he came over here to the States and fought Shawn Porter. He's a real warrior in the ring.
Mike Tyson’s a great boxer. The greatest boxer - but boxer. Not the best fighter.
I don't feel that no fighter has the mental or physical agility to match Floyd Mayweather.
I was probably the best that ever walked this earth. And I could take a punch. I could deliver a punch. I didn't have the hardest punch in the world but my punches were sharp and they were crisp. And if you took too many of them, you would be knocked out.
I'm The Greatest, but only in relation to fighting.
When Roy Jones was young, he glowed. There was an aura about him, and words came out of his mouth like bursts of machine-gun fire.
Style-wise, I'm not ideal to fight, but I'm not taking anything away from 'Canelo' Alvarez, he's a special fighter and he's one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world for a reason.
Mayweather has boxing genius. But it takes one to know one, and he knew right away Pacquiao also has rare boxing IQ - an equalizing gift for setting up and taking down an opponent.
Joe DeGuardia, I love that guy. He's not a superstar promoter yet, but he will be. He was a fighter himself; he's staying the course with these guys. He's developing some good fighters out there. I really applaud him whenever I get a chance to.
Mike Tyson was one of the most terrific athletes I've ever met.
