In the big leagues everyone has ability. It always comes down to mind games. Who ever is more mentally strong-wins.

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

The fact is I never was too bright in school. I just barely graduated. I had a D- average. I ain't ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do principals make a month?

Now, if I even say the wrong thing I make the news.

The crowd did not dream when they laid down their money that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny!

I'm so fast I could hit you before God gets the news.

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