I've always believed that you can be whatever you want to be if you are willing to sacrifice and dedicate yourself.

I want my fights to be seen as plays that have a beginning, a middle and an end

My ambition is not to be just a good fighter. I want to be great, something special.

I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.

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.
