I don't know if I have any regrets, I have had a pretty successful life. I have learned good, bad, and ugly.

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

I have learned that promoters can love you, hate you, then love you again.

Fighters DON'T know how to jab. You take Roy Jones, for instance. He paws his jab. He throws it out, it don't land. And then he'll hit you with a left hook, hit you with a right hand. But he doesn't really know the jab. A guy needs to learn the jab, know the jab, and use the jab. And these guys don't do it today.

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.

It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.

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