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.

The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves.

Sometimes, the people we invest the most time in disappoint us the most.

I live for the moment to hit people.

There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right.

I got a imam, I got a rabbi, I got a priest, I got a reverend - I got 'em all. But I don't want to be holier-than-thou. I want to help everybody and still get some (sex).
