I was blessed with speed and a good punch. Everybody thinks I'm the hardest puncher ever. But I just think I was really fast, and my punches got to the target faster. That's what made my knockouts always seem spectacular.

Anger is my biggest enemy in life.

[Cus D'Amato] told me, 'You're the type of guy who has to be hurt to learn.' I'm pissed off today because he was right about everything.

I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian.

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

I try to catch them right on the tip of his nose, because I try to punch the bone into the brain.

Man is not meant to be humble, he’s meant to be humbled.
