A fighter has to know fear.

The punch that knocks a man out is the punch that he doesn't see.

Mike's (Tyson) punch is like an atomic bomb in that it is relative to nature. Both have no value unless you have a means of conveying it to the target. He is boxing-smart.

The hero and the coward both feel exactly the same fear, only the hero confronts his fear and converts it into fire.

There is no such thing as a natural puncher. There is a natural aptitude for punching and that is different. Nobody is born the best. You have to practice and train to become the best.

Fear is the greatest obstacle to learning. But fear is your best friend. Fear is like fire. If you learn to control it, you let it work for you. If you don’t learn to control it, it’ll destroy you and everything around you.

Greatness is not a measure of how great you are but how great others came to be because of you
