I came from a dirt farm, now I'm filthy rich.

Leading up to the fight [Trevor Berbick] took every opportunity he could to badmouth Larry Holmes and I just blew up. After I beat him in the ring, he tried to get me going again, saying he deserved another fight, wasn't happening.

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

I won't say I won't fight again but I don't think anyone wants to fight me so I am finished and I will just continue with boxing exhibitions.

I train myself. I don't have trainers who want hundreds of thousands of dollars to train me. I hire who I want to put the grease on my face, to rub my neck and rub my back, to take my mouthpiece out and rinse it off and put the mouthpiece back in. And then I go about my business. And if they want to say something, they can give me little reminders. All you need are reminders. You don't need 'big-time' trainers.

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

My fans know the name Larry Holmes and that he always gave it his all.
