What you are thinking is what you are becoming.

I don't count my situps. I only start counting once it starts hurting.

A lot of boxers' features change - mainly when I fight 'em

If some black man go out and start something, a riot or something or, I'm not going to jump in it and get killed because he's gone out and started something I don't believe in what he's fighting for or his approach.

Outrun the people who quit when they feel discomfort, outrun the people who stop because of despair, outrun the people who are delayed because of prejudice, outrun the people who surrender to failure, and outrun the opponent who loses sight of the goal. Because if you want to win, the will can never retire, the race can never stop, and faith can never weaken.

When my title was taken away boxing died.

I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.
