In all my years in boxing I'd never known such heat
I just put the reflexes in the proper direction.
You take what the guy gives you. If there's nothin' there, you handle it. No problem.
It's been like that forever. We got spoiled by Joe Louis, by Rocky Marciano. Muhammad ruined us for everybody. He was great outside [the ring]; he was great inside. We got so accustomed to it we thought we deserved it.
He would have beat everybody because we'd have found a way to beat him.
Notice who is in the locker room after you lose, not after you win.
