'I Want to Eat his Children!' - It was the sound bite heard around the world that followed the bite heard around the world. After defeating Lou Savarese in 38 seconds back in 2000, Tyson flew into an all-out rant against Lennox Lewis, in which he said: “I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal and vicious and ruthless champion that’s ever been. There’s no one can stop me. Lennox is a conquerer? No, I’m Alexander. He’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me, I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I’m just ferocious. I want your heart, I want to eat his children.” Welp. (Photo: JOHN GURZINSKI/AFP/Getty Images)
