Don King, on Mike Tyson


"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter?
He went to prison, not to Princeton."



"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music
and the dancers hit each other."

 This article caught my eye because it illustrates how important self-discipline is to preparing for a fight.

“Bakeries have destroyed more boxers than wine, women, and song.”

Rios Fails to Make Weight—Again - Boxing.com

Brandon Rios failed to make weight today in advance of Saturday’s fight with Richard Abril. It’s the second time in two fights that Rios has lost his battle with the scale...

He lost his WBA lightweight title before a punch was thrown in his fight with John Murray at Madison Square Garden in December. "

James Toney ate his way from Junior Middleweight all the way to Heavyweight!!!  Bob Arum said he never saw a person who could eat as much as James Toney.
