You got 3 things going against you: you're good, you're left-handed, and you're black

Fighting George Foreman is like being in the street with an 18-wheeler coming at you.

I've achieved 'the American dream.' I feel it's my duty to help others achieve their vision, too - especially the youth.

If I said 'Fall down', he's gonna fall down. I'm still his father.

I hated Ali. God might not like me talking that way, but its in my heart.

The way I fight, it's not me beatin' the man. I make the man whip himself.

Since I was a boy of five or six, I had it in my mind I would be a world boxing champion.

I don't want nothing comin' at me that I can't stop.

The boxing game has been good, so we need to give back. We have to teach young men how to be men.

When I go out there, I have no pity on my brother. I am out there to win.

Work is the only meanin' I've ever known.

His mouth made him feel like he was gonna win. Not his hands, I had my hand. He had his lips.

I wasn't a big guy. People thought the big guys would eat me up. But it was the other way around. I loved to fight bigger guys.

I want to hit him, step away and watch him hurt. I want his heart.

Ali kept calling me ugly, but I never thought of myself as being any uglier than him, I have 11 babies, somebody thought I was cute.

Ali always said I would be nothing without him, but who would he have been without me?

A sound body keeps a sound mind.

Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.

I hit him with body shots that would have brought down cities.
