When I turned pro, Muhammad Ali was laying back, and I was able to fill up an area that was empty.

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

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.

Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

You don't play boxing. You really don't. You play golf, you play tennis, but you don't play boxing.

Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.

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