Chris Byrd King Quotations

If you're with Don King and in the doghouse you don't get fights. I need to be active and he won't get me any fights.

Nobody beats me twice. Five years ago, I was more of a finesse fighter. I was willing to fight anybody, but at the same time I was timid of the bigger guys. I do not fear anybody anymore as far as taking their shot.

Until you get a unified champion, it is split. Since I have been champion, I have really stopped setting goals because I do not see them realistically happening from the other boxers' point of view. You cannot make certain fighters fight. I will be 90 years old before I see myself unifying any kind of belt. Right now, I am just taking one fight at a time and just see what happens.

I will fight you, and I will be wiser doing it. I just don't want to take punches for no reason, but at the same time I need to box from the outside. I can box and make him miss. But if I want to get in the trenches and fight, I can do that also. I do not fear anybody anymore as far as taking their shot.

I tell you one thing, if you are with Don King and you're in his dog house, you don't get to fight,

I've stopped setting goals because I do not see them realistically happening, ... You can't make certain fighters fight. I will be 90 years old before I see myself unifying any belt. Right now, I'm just taking one fight at a time.
