Generally, the more weight you put on, the less effective you are.

I retired and came back in '97. Woo! I mean, come on! I don't know, man. A six-year layoff? That was crazy! My career was relatively short, whether you look at either its length in years or the number of fights I had. But it was brutal.

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.

Aaron Pryor wants to get into the ring with me. He wants to be able to retire, and he will. For health reasons.

I'll think, If this is his first punch, how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself

When I'm not in training. I'll walk around the streets at 153, but it's not solid; it's my socializing weight.

Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.
