I still love Mike; it's just those demons that possess him and make him do things. He needs to find a new savior.
I support the cause of the global peace rally and I look forward to being here and support and hoping that everybody can come together and share same vision about being in one world. Its gonna take more than one person to do this.
Of course, it is me being able to reach my goal,
He meant so much for the sport and to the people.
Someone has done this before. George Foreman did it,
I have to have someone who believes I can do it, just like I believe I can.
They're looking at the wrong angle. If I was a guy who never been heavyweight champ of the world or a guy never made any money, then they say 'Well, I can understand.' But why do you have to understand for me to know the point, the commitment to what I believe? See, I have a commitment with God. Even before I became heavyweight champion of world, I said 'Lord, I want to do this for you and I will give you the glory. I will stay out here as long as you want me to.'
I was ready to tackle him, throw him down, do something that would get me disqualified.
I'm going back to the drawing board and pray and give it serious thought.
Why have anyone go through all that if you're still going to make the decision that he can't fight?
Fighters find it hard to give up doing what they do best - fighting for a living.
If you quit every time things don't go your way, then you'll be quitting all through your life.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
A champion shows who he is by what he does.
