I refuse to let adversity allow me to be average.
Most fighters are the most humble people in the world because they've gotten their ass kicked before.
We're all going to be tested. The dark energy is going to knock on all of our doors.
Every punch was thrown with bad intentions.
I'm not much for talking. You know what I do. I put guys in body bags when I'm right.
I hope I can improve. I'm far from perfect. Sometimes, I wonder what would happen if I fought myself. I think it would be a one-round KO. But if I was fighting myself, I know I could take my best punch. No, make that two rounds. I would knock myself out in two rounds.
I was in handcuffs. I was under arrest. I remember there was this old lady looking at me, and I could tell she felt real sorry for me, and she did'nt know but all I wanted to do was take her purse.
For this fight my blood, my soul, everything was on the line.
Every punch I threw with bad intentions to a vital area...I aimed for his ear...I wanted to bust his eardrum...Every punch had bad intentions...My record will last for immortality, It'll never be broken...I want to live forever...I refuse to lose...I would have to be carried out dead to lose...I was coming to destroy and win the Heavyweight Championship of the World, which I done.
I'am not predictor of fights, but I know when I hit 'em good, the fight is close to an end
There's no way I would want to hurt him or bust him up. That's why, for the sake of the family as well as himself, I will take him out in the opening round.
My career has been over since 1990.
I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'am going to strip them of their health. I bring pain a lot of pain
I could have knocked him out in the 3rd round but I wanted to do it slowly, So he would remember this night for a long time.
