In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.

The media can make boxers, controls who makes it big and who doesn’t. They can build up fighters or knock them down.

Fighters used to be afraid of the Russians, Cubans but then I'd figure them out and figure out how to beat them.

[Wladimir] Klitschko has got the experience, so if Tyson [Fury] waits on him, Klitschko will out-box him. But if he uses his speed and reach it will be a great chance for him to win.

When I saw Tyson knocking everybody out on TV, I thought, He's goooood. But when I saw him in person, he didn't look as awesome.

I am going to have one Klitschko for breakfast and one Klitschko for lunch.

Patience is a part of boxing. After I had missed out on the Olympic gold medal in 1984, a lot of people tried to talk me into turning professional quickly to make money. They told me that the next Olympics in Seoul would be boycotted again, that I was wasting my life, blah blah. But I still had unfinished business. I wanted the gold medal, and I got it in ‘88. Only then was I ready to turn professional.
