Whether it's boxing, basketball, or badminton, one must be ready to succeed before entering the arena...long before the lights come up.

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

What I've found is that the religion that matters, the real religion is love.

I don't look like no kiwi bird

Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.

I'm most proud of my family.

You can be free. You can be black. Look at me! I'm the Heavyweight Champion! Can't nobody stop me.
