I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.

War on nations changes maps. War on poverty maps change.

My main purpose is to pray five times a day. And that's not easy.

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

I just try to stay half way decent looking. Boxing's a rough sport and you get hit a lot.
