This is a setback. You get back up, you dust yourself off, and you get back in the game. We had a great singer named Ray Charles who wrote a song called 'Drowning in My Tears.' You can't afford to drown in your tears. You gotta go back, rededicate yourself, redouble your efforts, and persevere.

I am the living attestation of the American dream. I am the extolment of this great nation.

I don't promote boxing, I promote people. Boxing is a catalyst to bring people together.

I never get tired because it ain't energy that's being dispenced. It is GOD speaking through me.

I will fight for America till the day I drop.

Man O' War was a great racehorse, but if I put a extra 20 pounds on him they would say I was cruel to the animal. So don't ask me to do that to Chavez.

Against the odd's, I have persevered, I am the living attestation of the American dream. I am the extolment of this great nation. I have coffee and cocktails with presidents and dictators. I'm an international figure, a citizen of the world. I've made it.
