Don King is a hip exploiter, an intelligent flesh peddler

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.

I won't say I won't fight again but I don't think anyone wants to fight me so I am finished and I will just continue with boxing exhibitions.

That guy [Floyd Mayweather] is throwing his money around like there is no tomorrow.

I think gambling can be a good thing if you don't take it too seriously. Take it and have fun with it, and don't lose what you can't afford to lose.

You can't put those guys like Marciano or anyone else in with today's class of fighters.

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