Everybody knows that I am one of the greatest fighters of all time and I would beat all those guys.

I never tried to be a mercenary or a killer but a hard working fighter.

When you constantly hear people talking about going the distance, going the distance, you can't help but wonder about it. I learned a lesson: next time I will fight my fight without that doubt.

Mike Tyson is a sharp puncher. Earnie Shavers was a PUNISHING puncher. There was a difference between the two. Because when Shavers hit you, you feel it all the way through your body.

I have a lot of friends and fans in Canada and as a matter of fact I met a fan from there that came down to my office. It was nice and we took pictures and had a nice talk.

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

Tyson is a lot better than I thought, a lot better. People can talk about Spinks all they want... Tyson is the true champion.
