It's unnatural to fight somebody who has nothing against you and never did anything to you or to your family, who never stole anything from you. And now you've got to go and try to dismantle this guy.

There's no future in our past. Just experience. We want to return to it, but we don't want to close the door on it either.

I don't think boxing took more from me then I got in return. It gave me everything that I took from it. It was all fair.

I'm just happy I'm not a phoney.

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.

Guess I'm going to fade into Bolivian.

I didn't come from a household where my mother dragged me outside and said, "You'd better fight." My mother wouldn't let me fight. I was not an aggressive kid.
