Everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody who helps you is not your friend.

People look at me as some bruiser, but I want to entertain people. I want people to applaud. I want to be the cause of people being happy, their emotions changing, to tell me I did a good performance.

That's what people respect, the fact that I wasn't a chump that laid on his back and gave up.

I don't want to be remembered. As long as my kids remember me, I'd rather be forgotten by everybody else.

I felt the same fear in my first fight as I did in my last fight. It never goes away.

I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened.

Some people try to get you out of slavery for you to be their slave.
