Tyson is a lot better than I thought, a lot better. People can talk about Spinks all they want... Tyson is the true champion.

My actions speak louder than my words.

I'm tired. I am old and I have never quit pursuing my goals. I am heavily involved in real estate right now, but I am trying to get out of it altogether, I am just tired.

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

The seventies and eighties are when the division was really good. The fights were very enjoyable and everyone knew when the next fight was. Nowadays, you don't even know who won a fight three days after it happens. We need heavyweights, the people want heavyweights.

Don King was good to me through my years as champion, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He's a wheeler dealer and you've got to be careful. He's a great con artist.

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