Being in the ring became my reality, and, in my reality, I'd think I was someone special.

My objective was to hurt the other fighters. I wanted to hurt them. I wanted to be merciless. Man, I was a wild thing. It's kind of a drug, a rush.

Common sense is so very simple but very difficult to grasp.

I know I have only myself to blame for all the problems I've had in my life.

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

I'm the best fighter in the world. No one can beat me....My objective is to inflict as much pain as possible, to win and win spectacularly...Ever since I was 12 years old, I was groomed to be the heavyweight champion of the world. I've been prepared to handle the pressure, the dealing with the press, everything.

I can quit boxing now and practically go into any kind of business and I'll be successful just as well as I was in boxing.
