[Michael Spinks] didn't belong in the same ring as me, but I wasn't taking good care of myself because of drink and he beat me.

Today I have a great life. I have three kids and a beautiful wife. I play golf every day. I give to charities. I'm in a lucky position.

Growing up training, I use to get up so early I would wave to the garbage men going by. So, I had this relationship with Blue Collar America and I really liked it. I felt that lots of those people looked forward to me winning.

I like the Klitschko boys, I think they're in a class of their own. I like Manny Pacquiao. All the super-middleweights are great.

I am seeing all the guys, like Earnie Shavers, Tex Cobb, and Larry Holmes all the time.

I was a small kid from Huntington, Long Island. I never imagined that anything like that would happen to me.

Like I say, boxing was on the floor, but it got back up.
