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

Joe Louis was a good Heavyweight, good boxer but he was kind of in the same boat as Marciano, weighing about 190 to 200 lbs.

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

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.

I still feel that I am in my prime right now but I think my best fights were in my thirties.

When the bell rings, your trainer can't help you.

The guys today are just too strong and back then they would take many hard punches to land one.
