I shook up the world.

I can love freedom and the flesh and blood of my people moreso than I do the money.

What I will remember most about Mr Mandela is that he was a man whose heart, soul and spirit could not be contained or restrained by racial and economic injustices, metal bars or the burden of hate and revenge.

My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am.

Who would thought only of themselves and kill their race? You would hate other people if you don't want to stay who you are.

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.

I say get an education. Become an electrician, a mechanic, a doctor, a lawyer, anything but a fighter. In this trade, it's the managers that make the money and last the longest.
