One of my friends once saw another guy's (criminal) record and said, 'Look, this guy is a born troublemaker, just a loser.' I had to tell him, 'No, that's my record - and it doesn't include my juvenile history.'

I don't think boxing took more from me then I got in return. It gave me everything that I took from it. It was all fair.

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

My objective was to hurt the other fighters. I wanted to hurt them. I wanted to be merciless. Man, I was a wild thing. It's kind of a drug, a rush.

My power is discombobulatingly devastating. It's ludricrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.

I think the average person thinks I'm a nut and I deserve whatever happens to me.

What was most important was the knowledge [aspect] of the fight. I learned this early on and just told myself to "upgrade my mind." That's just what I wanted to do my whole life.
