It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.

On my twelfth birthday, I got a new bicycle as a present from my folks, and I rode it to a fair that was being held at the Columbia Gymnasium, and when I come out, my bike was gone. I was so mad I was crying, and a policeman, Joe Martin, come up and I told him I was going to whip whoever took my bike. He said I ought to take some boxing lessons to learn how to whip the thief better, and I did. That's when I started fighting.

I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.

I had something to do, which most kids really need. Something they can look forward to - a goal, a purpose to work towards. Something to achieve. Keeps them out of trouble.

"I'm the greatest thing that ever lived! I'm the king of the world! I'm a bad man. I'm the prettiest thing that ever lived. I shook up the world! I want justice..."

I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.

It's ain't sad that I want my child to look like me? Every intelligent person wants their child to look like him.
