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

When I found Jesus Christ, I learned to be a better athlete. I didn't have to go out there and knock them out in the first round. I've learned to be patient, skillful in the ring. At the same time, I wanted to prove to other boxers that you can take off this killer instinct stuff, you can be a great athlete, a great boxer, and love your brother.

Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.

I cannot remember a time when I was not getting into fights.

There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing. Writers are not writing about us big boys anymore and I tell you right, however you feel, take something, find it, and use it because American needs something to read about.

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

One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.
