I'm a free agent. I haven't allowed any promoters to have exclusive options on my fight. I don't need a promoter.

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.

It's hard to talk about yourself.

I'm a competitor and a very proud man. If a guy beats me once, he'll have to do it again to make me believe him.

Boxing was not something I truly enjoyed. Like a lot of things in life, when you put the gloves on, it's better to give than to receive.
