I live for the moment to hit people.

Some people are faster than others; I'm just figuring it out later, that's all. I'm getting smart too late and old too soon.

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.

In order to be a friend to anybody, you have to be a friend to yourself. If you're not a friend to yourself, there's no way you're gonna have any friends.

For what I get paid to get into the ring, I owe it to my fans to uphold the institution of sportsmanship.

Our money is bait money, and bait money is not to be used.

Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.
