Frank Sinatra told Floyd Paterson how he should whoop me. Frank Sinatra.

I am the king of the world. I'm a man's man.

People sold everything - their cars, their land for miles, to come in and see me beat. I went to the bank laughing every time.

I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.

Floyd Paterson? Boy, he's the complete opposite to me. He no way like me. They go down in history for just being athletes. I'm getting more praise and credit for doing what I'm doing now on this show than coming here and beating five of your English champions.

I have to be real cool and not savage and radical, because it makes me angry when I think about it when I see the white boys, who are really the number one citizens, the future rulers.

The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves
