The mind is a real dangerous neighborhood to travel by ourselves.

I want someone to attack me. No weapons. Just me and him. I like to beat men and beat them bad

I didn't know how to be any other way. I felt like one of those barbarian kings just coming to conquer the Roman Empire.

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

It's interesting that you put me in the league with those illustrious fighters [Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson], but I've proved since my career I've surpassed them as far my popularity. I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.

I know I'm going to blow one day. My life is doomed the way it is. I have no future.

Nothing is more humbling than getting your ass kicked.
