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

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

Anytime I can sneak in a moment to fish and ride horses, I'm a happy camper!

I wanted the world to know where I was from. I wanted to say to the world, "We gotcha." America gotcha.

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 didn't come back for the money. I just got sick of beating people up for free.

There's more to boxing than hitting. There's not getting hit, for instance.
