Muhammad Ali could take a very good punch. He was slick, he could move, he could hit, make you miss, good hand speed and combinations and one of the greatest fighters of all time in my opinion.

I always enjoy myself fighting in Mississippi. I enjoy myself fighting anywhere.

Don King doesn't care about black or white. He just cares about green.

You can't put those guys like Marciano or anyone else in with today's class of fighters.

George Foreman is easier and has the bigger name and have you noticed that Foreman never calls me out or ever mentions my name? He is afraid of me like most fighters are and most people want to forget about Larry Holmes, like he never ever existed.

Tex Cobb would call me every day after we fought, I got sick of talking to him. I liked him a lot as a fighter, and as a person, and feel that sometimes he was misunderstood.

Kenny Norton hit me so hard that it still hurts. Now there was a case of two fighters who did not like each other.
