I've achieved 'the American dream.' I feel it's my duty to help others achieve their vision, too - especially the youth.

The boxing game has been good, so we need to give back. We have to teach young men how to be men.

The way I fight, it's not me beatin' the man. I make the man whip himself.

I don't think a man has to go around shouting and play-acting to prove he is something. And a real man don't go around putting other guys down, trampling their feelings in the dirt, making out they're nothing.

Work is the only meanin' I've ever known.

Ali kept calling me ugly, but I never thought of myself as being any uglier than him, I have 11 babies, somebody thought I was cute.

Fighting George Foreman is like being in the street with an 18-wheeler coming at you.
