No one who isn't an extremist can understand the mind of an extremist.

I'm a Muslim, but I think Jesus would have a drink with me. He would be cool. He would talk to me.

My life's not tragic at all. How many guys do you know who are bankrupt and just bought a $3 million house and are getting ready to get $6 million more?

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.

My career has been over since 1990.

Boxing is an ego-driven sport. The idea is to not get too personal or emotional with it. You just know when it's over, it's over, and that's it.

Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
