I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.

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.

Everybody's got plans... until they get hit.

Hard times fall upon everybody. Whatever it is, we're going to get out of it.

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

I'm not Mother Teresa, but I'm not Charles Manson, either.

If Mike Tyson is in your courtroom and you don't send him to jail, it's an injustice. Everyone knows he's a bad guy. So if he is in your courtroom, he should go to jail.
