    I had my Olympic gold medal cut up into eleven pieces. Gave all eleven of my kids a piece. It'll come together again when they put me down.
    Joe Frazier

    I wasn't a big guy. People thought the big guys would eat me up. But it was the other way around. I loved to fight bigger guys. Only one big guy I didn't like to fight. That was George. Fightin' George Foreman is like being in the street with an eighteen-wheeler comin' at you.
    Joe Frazier

    Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.
    Joe Frazier

    I want to hit him, step away and watch him hurt. I want his heart.
    Joe Frazier

    Life doesn't run away from nobody. Life runs at people.
    Joe Frazier

    This is just another man, another fight, another payday.
    Joe Frazier

    I came up in a time when men were men. They didn't wear no earrings.
    Joe Frazier

    When I go out there, I have no pity on my brother. I'm out there to win.
    Joe Frazier

    I said some things in the past, but the truth is I love to see the Butterfly these days. He says, "We're two baaaaaad brothers." But after all this time, there are some things I'll never understand. Why'd he say, "I am thee greatest"? You would never say, "That is thee picture." You'd say, "That is the picture." I am thee greatest. Every word he said about himself: "I am thee."

    This one is classic, by big George about Joe

    I love Joe Frazier. He's been an original from day one. A few years back, Joe, Muhammad, and I did a video in England. After the taping, we were at a charity dinner with some of the royal family. They were serving lamb chops with mint jelly -- beautiful food. The waiter asked, "Can I get you anything else?" And Joe said, "I want some more green jelly." The waiter said, "Do you mean mint sauce?" And Joe said, "Same thing." And I thought, Some people put on a face for you and a face for someone else. But this man has only one face. "Same thing." If you understood what he said, why did you need to correct him?
