This is a great position to be in. I don't really believe there is any fighter, in any decade that can be in my position of luxury that I've been in for many years.

I would never let a white boy beat me. You can print that. I would never lose to a white person.

The powers that be don’t want athletes or boxers to become as smart as they are.

I didn't need to take any fight for the last 10 years. But I've always fought the best and I've always wanted to prove myself to the best.

I want to be the poster child for taking care of yourself after 40. Obesity is an epidemic in this country and I'm a living, breathing example of what it means to stay healthy.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from - the penitentiary.

I've got a history of frustrating guys and making them angry.
