A Quote by Keith Thurman

I have a beautiful story with my original trainer from the age of 7 to the age of 20 when he passed away. Ben Getty believed in me before anybody believed in me. That I'd be champion of the world, that I'd be a pay per view fighter, an exciting fighter.

Ben believed in me when I was a little boy, when no one else was around, so it's why I wear his name on my trunks every time I step in the ring. I want the world to know they're watching a Ben Getty fighter.

One thing I see in a lot of coaches is they try to live through the fighter. You can't live through the fighter. You gotta allow the fighter to be the fighter, and do what he do, and you just try to guide him. Why should I have to live through a fighter, when I went from eating out of a trashcan to being eight-time world champion? I stood in the limelight and did what I had to do as a fighter. I've been where that fighter is trying to go.

Ann Wolfe

I'll fight anybody my trainer puts me in with because I'm confident I can beat any fighter in the world. If anybody can see I'm almost a master at evading punches coming at me.

Mike Tyson

Every fighter that ever lived had fear. A boy comes to me and tells me that he's not afraid, if I believed him I'd say he's a liar or there's something wrong with him. I'd send him to a doctor to find out what the hell's the matter with him, because this is not a normal reaction. The fighter that's gone into the ring and hasn't experienced fear is either a liar or a psychopath.

Cus D'Amato

I think a trainer is very important at the beginning of a fighter's career. A fighter needs to know how to throw a left, throw a right, how to duck, how to do certain things. Over time, you don't really need a trainer. You've got to train yourself. You've got to motivate yourself. And I don't think anybody can put that in you.

Larry Holmes

I never believed I was the best fighter in the world.

Fedor Emelianenko

Maybe that's good for somebody else to hear: 'You're a good fighter.' For me, it's horrible. I want people to say, 'You're a great fighter.' I want them to look at me like I am a champion.

Andrei Arlovski

To use a fighter as a fighter-bomber when the strength of the fighter arm is inadequate to achieve air superiority is putting the cart before the horse.

Adolf Galland

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I've found that just surviving is a noble fight. I once believed in causes too; I had my pointless points of view. And life went on no matter who as wrong or right.

Billy Joel

You know how a fighter always comes into the dressing room way before a fight? That's me - I'm like a fighter.

Don Rickles

I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'.

Kim Kardashian

In 1974 or 1975, if someone had told me I was going to be an Olympic champion, I would not have believed it. Even in 1976, I'd not have believed it.

Edwin Moses

I never put it to where I say, 'I'm just this big pay-per-view star,' or 'I wanna be the No. 1 pay-per-view star that got all the ratings.' No, I was just like, 'I'm gonna be a world champion. That's what I'm gonna be.'

Terence Crawford

My self-belief, really is what kept me going, I always believed I could be a great champion, a world champion.

Ryan Garcia

I've always believed that fighters owe the fans a show. I'm a fighter and my job is to beat the man in front of me, but, I want to do it in a way that is memorable to people.

Cub Swanson
