When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.

I hit Ali with everything and he said 'is that all you got' and I said 'yeah, that's pretty much it.'

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.

Without appreciation and respect for other people, true leadership becomes ineffective, if not impossible.

It's great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today. So learning to enjoy today has two benefits: it gives me happiness right now, and it becomes a good memory later.

If you can maintain that integrity in whatever you do, you can't go wrong.
