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

I learned that I had character defects, that I was allergic to alcohol and drugs, and that I had an obsession with all the bad stuff. But thank God that I woke and that I had good people around me to support me. There's not much more I can say about it. You have to want to be a better person.

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.

Look at football, where you still have injuries no matter how much they improve the helmets and other equipment.

Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that's it; your career is over.

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

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.
