No doubt about it, in my career Ron Lyle hit me the hardest. One time he hit me so hard I didn't see it until I saw it on film when I woke up!

It’s great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today.

I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.

In boxing, I had a lot of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I thought, "This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for". No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.

I've seen George Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won.

I'm the world heavyweight champion. I consider myself a citizen of the whole world.

Before a fight between Riddick Bowe and Hector Gonzales: Generally when there's a lot of smoke . . . there's just a whole lot more smoke.
