I don't consider myself no attractive man. People like Tom Jones and Elvis Presley - I'm not nothing like that.

God works through people. It’s not me.

I was always at the gymnasium every day at six o'clock after school. In the mornings I would run, looking forward to future golden gloves and Olympic tournaments.

Why are they picking on boxing? It's because the black men are so superior in boxing that they want to stop it. Well, the black man's so hungry he's got to fight.

We can't be brave without fear.

My trainer don't tell me nothing between rounds. I don't allow him to. I fight the fight. All I want to know is did I win the round. It's too late for advice.

If you love God, tear out your heart's love of the world.
