Maybe I was great in the ring, but outside of boxing, I'm just a brother like other people. I want to live a good life, serve God, help everybody I can. And one more thing. I'm still gonna find out who stole my bike when I was 12 years old in Louisville and I'm gonna whup him. That was a good bike.

Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.

I shook up the world.

When a man says I cannot, he has made a suggestion to himself. He has weakened his power of accomplishing that which otherwise would have been accomplished.

You have a right to say what you believe, and I have a right.

True success is reaching our potential without compromising our values.

I want fifteen referees at this fight…because there ain’t no one man who can keep up with the pace I’m gonna set except me
