Boxing was the only career where I wouldn't have to start out at the bottom. I had a good resume.

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.

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.

It's hard to talk about yourself.

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

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.
