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

All I've ever tried to tell anyone is that I'm not a black man or a white man or anything else. All I've ever been was an American.

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

Filling a need is not merely good business; it's a basic attitude towards life. If you see a need, do whatever you can to meet that need.

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

Today the biggest decisions I make aren't related to the heavyweight title. They are whether I visit McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, or Jack-in-the-Box.

We, too, need to be patient, especially when it comes to reaching new goals.
