I think an athlete should be honest. I know it's difficult, but if a guy knocked me on my can, I couldn't very well say, I slipped.

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

To be honest, I don't know. I started one [book] back in 1982 or '83 when I first retired. But I was only 25 or 26 and not ready to write my memoirs.

I wouldnt change anything because the mistakes and the hurt are as important as all the great fights. They made me who I am today.

I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.

We're all endowed with God-given talents. Mine happens to be hitting people in the head.

My intention was to fight Durán ASAP because I knew Durán's habits. I knew he would indulge himself, he'd gain 40–50 lbs and then sweat it off to make 147.
