[My] worst habit: Drinking too much Budweiser when I get angry.

I don't think Mike Tyson's a bad guy. I think the people, the media, makes him out to be a bad guy.

I cursed [Larry Merchant] out once, and I told him that he was a phony.

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

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.

Mike Tyson does a lot of things that shows he wants to win. He might hit you after the bell, he might hit you a little low, but he wants to win the fight. I think if he controls himself, he's okay.

Bob Arum and Don King can do their thing but if I fought for those guys and they put the money up like they are supposed to then I don't have a problem.
