determination men thinking
If you envy me whatever modicom of success that I enjoy, you must also envy me my time, my labour, my finance, my anxiety, my frustration and my determination. Jose Sulaiman is the greatest boxing man that I have ever met. I think he is a knight in shining armour for the boxer, but I always insulate myself with the rules.
thinking boxing may
You see, the problem with me is I'm so good even my friends think I'm doing something wrong. Flair and flamboyance is not illegal. It may be detestable, it may be offensive, but it's not illegal.

You ever stop to think they can't rob you of knowledge? They can strip you and you've still got it.
nice
I think we've done well this year. We've competed in some of the big tournaments and did a nice job.

Without a doubt there is a lot of pride for them at this golf course. This is their turf. They've got a great golf course, and it's a dark day when they don't win here.

James Brown died owing me $50,000. But I loved James Brown.

We are coming to win and I think so much of Evans that I'm coming to Cardiff so we can go back with the belt to America.

Out of all the fighters that I have developed, clothed, financed, Gerrie Coetzee is the only one who had the decency to say 'thanks'.
fighting opportunity america
When I came into boxing, when it was more out of control, no fighters got an opportunity to fight. I came in: everybody got an opportunity to make a living in America.
boxing substance pizzazz
If he says he has the pizzazz and the sizzle, I have the steak, and substance. I've made more money than he's made. I've made bigger deals than he's made, when he's got the complexion to get the protection.
school iron boxing
I've whipped the Harvard graduate's ass. Nothing against Harvard - it's a hell of a school - but there I was, twenty five yards behind, wrapped in leg irons, and I beat him.
