My objective is to destroy anybody over 200 pounds, in the ring or out.

People see it [boxing] as a physical contact sport, but it's not. It's really a spiritual one of will against will. Who wants it the most? How much is he willing to take - and dish out - to get it? It's like fighting is 10 percent physical and 90 percent emotional.

It's just good that Detroit is coming back. I'm so happy it's coming back because it needs to come back. When I do my trips around the world, and I can be anywhere, but I always see somebody from Detroit or Chicago. Those guys are world travelers.

I'm going to gut you like a fish.

I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too.

I like horror movies. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favourite. I even get scared a little bit watching horror.

When I was young, I thought I was a god. Now, I just basically work on staying humble. My priorities changed. Just to be able to try to change them - that was frightening to me.
