retirement pay lord
I'm working for the Lord, and even though the Lord's pay isn't very high, his retirement program is.
funny boxing shadow
I've seen George Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won.
growing-up school lunch
Growing up poor, I didn't even have a lunch to take to school.
school people muggers
I didn't love school because I wanted to disguise that I was poorer than everybody else. So when I was a teen I reached out in a wrong way. I started to be a mugger, to rob people in the streets, just to supply for my needs.
country real fighting
Klitschko has had a good career. A lot of his fights have been out of the country as though he hasn't even been invited into the real heavyweight picture in the United States. He's a good fighter. You can't talk about him unless you can beat him and it doesn't seem that there's anyone around who can truly beat him.
america world wanted
I wanted the world to know where I was from. I wanted to say to the world, "We gotcha." America gotcha.
writing fighting boys
There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing. Writers are not writing about us big boys anymore and I tell you right, however you feel, take something, find it, and use it because American needs something to read about. Not to see on television, but to read about. Let the writers take over.
men white white-man
All I've ever tried to tell anyone is that I'm not a black man or a white man or anything else. All I've ever been was an American.
jesus brother athlete
When I found Jesus Christ, I learned to be a better athlete. I didn't have to go out there and knock them out in the first round. I've learned to be patient, skillful in the ring. At the same time, I wanted to prove to other boxers that you can take off this killer instinct stuff, you can be a great athlete, a great boxer, and love your brother.
german-shepherds shepherds miles
A Jack Russell terrier? My god. He'll burn you up. They never stop. A German shepherd, you can only go so many miles.
kings mcdonalds decision
Today the biggest decisions I make aren't related to the heavyweight title. They are whether I visit McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, or Jack-in-the-Box.
sports real boxing
The Internal Revenue Service is the real undefeated heavyweight champion.
