My intentions were not to fascinate the world with my personality.

I don't want anyone to have to interview me. I wish I didn't have to talk too much about myself.

Every punch was thrown with bad intentions.

I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.

People see it [boxing] as a physical contact sport, but it's not. It's really a spiritual one of will against will. Who wants it the most? How much is he willing to take - and dish out - to get it? It's like fighting is 10 percent physical and 90 percent emotional.

These pigeons have been living with each other for 10 or 15 years, but when I throw feed down, they kill each other to get it, and it's the same with the fighters. We love and respect each other...but we need that money.

I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say.
