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

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

Ali was a guy that had a lot of discipline. If you hung around him, you'd be able to get some of that discipline that he had. And I learned from that. He was a sweet man.

If you don't follow Don King, you get stepped on.

I don't think boxing needs to be regulated. I think boxing needs to have a complaint board. And I think the complaint board should be able to look into boxing situations - as far as if you're getting what you should be getting, whether you're being managed, not being managed, etc.

Earnie hit me harder than any other fighter, including Mike Tyson. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing saxophonist Jimmy Tillis.

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