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."

How boxers should conduct themselves
Some things never change
A concluding word on how boxers should conduct themselves: from more than 200 years ago, by the man who turned fighting from thuggering into a science …“It is undoubtedly a fact that some men of turbulent and vindictive dispositions have made a bad use of their pugilistic powers, and have thereby become obnoxious and disgraceful members of society; but these instances occur not frequently, and when they do they must be acknowledged to result from the abuse and not from the right use of the art. The robust and athletic should never forget that excellent observation of Shakespeare: ‘It is good to have a giant’s strength but merciless to use it like a giant.’” – Daniel Mendoza, Memoirs (1816).

Harry Greb
“Prizefighting ain’t the noblest of arts and I ain’t the noblest artist.”
- Harry Greb
Edward Henry "Harry" Greb (June 6, 1894 – October 22, 1926) was an American professional boxer. Nicknamed "The Pittsburgh Windmill", he was the American light heavyweight champion from 1922 to 1923 and world middleweight champion from 1923 to 1926.
He fought a recorded 298 times in his 13 year-career, which began at around 140 pounds. He fought against the best opposition the talent-rich 1910s and 20s could provide him, frequently squaring off against light heavyweights and even heavyweights.
Widely considered one of the best fighters of all time, Greb was named the 7th greatest fighter of the past 80 years by the Ring Magazine, the 5th greatest fighter of all-time by historian Bert Sugar and ranked as the #1 middleweight and the #2 pound-for-pound fighter of all-time by the International Boxing Research Organization.
Statistical boxing website BoxRec lists Greb as the #3 ranked middleweight of all-time and the 8th greatest pound-for-pound fighter ever.
