Everybody in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter.

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.

Money is my God. If you think God will help you then quit your job and see how much he cares.

Destroy or be destroyed! I just love that way of life!

God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.

I never look at a high point in my career. Everyone thinks about the Spinks fight, but that fight only lasted 91 seconds, so it's hard to say it defined my career.

He didn't have no respect as a professional fighter should, no class. I was going to make him pay with his health for everything he said... I wanted to do it very slowly. I wanted him to remember this for a long time.
