'I don't know what other fighters do, but when I get hit and go down, I smile and I say, 'I'm going to hit you harder than you hit me, and I'm going to knock you out.' The times I go down and get back up - that's when I'm the most dangerous.'

'You always want the guy to get up after the count of ten. But when you knock him down, it's the greatest feeling in the world. There ain't nothing better than to stand over a man and see him down on the canvas. Nothing.'

'I'd been in fights all my life with tough guys; tough guys generally couldn't fight. But Frazier was as tough a boxer as ever wore the championship belt. While most fighters were like walls with holes in them here and there. Joe Frazier was a brick wall with no cracks. He had a certain rhythm in the ring. He rolled with the hard shots, like Pac-Man eating them up. If you hurt him, he liked it. And if you missed, he got mad.'
- George Foreman
