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

Klitschko has had a good career. A lot of his fights have been out of the country as though he hasn't even been invited into the real heavyweight picture in the United States. He's a good fighter. You can't talk about him unless you can beat him and it doesn't seem that there's anyone around who can truly beat him.

I am a winner each and every time I go into the ring.

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.

Many people fail not so much because of their mistakes; they fail because they are afraid to try.

Let the other guy have whatever he wants before the fight. Once the bell rings he's gonna be disappointed anyway.

I know from experience that you should never give up on yourself or others, no matter what.
