You have to compete in life because if you don't have no competition - no competition, no spirit, you know, you'll fall under the slightest struggle.

Fighting is spiritual. It appears to be physical from the layman's eyes. In my fights, I seemed to be angry and mad - all that stuff you saw me doing, the yelling and screaming and being mean in the ring - but I'm cool as a cucumber. I can hear everybody talking around me outside of the ring. I can see everybody. I know what is going on.

That's all they said was wrong with me?

I didn't know how to be any other way. I felt like one of those barbarian kings just coming to conquer the Roman Empire.

Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did...That's my biggest regret.

I just love to fight. I like to hurt people. I haven't lost that. I didn't lose it when I first got a bit of wealth and I haven't lost it now. The nature of my business is to hurt people.

I can quit boxing now and practically go into any kind of business and I'll be successful just as well as I was in boxing.
