There is no quit in me.

You never heard of any of the fighters [in heavyweight division]. It is very hard to watch. It upsets me to turn on my television set and never be able to look forward to a good fight in that weight class.

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.

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

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 think the world is changing. And it's changing so fast that people have to change with it.

Mike Tyson is a sharp puncher. Earnie Shavers was a PUNISHING puncher. There was a difference between the two. Because when Shavers hit you, you feel it all the way through your body.
