Most fighters are the most humble people in the world because they've gotten their ass kicked before.
King has big offices, houses, and he pays his fighters a lot of money. An, because he's black, the FBI figures he must be doing something crooked.
If he's not dead, it doesn't count.
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
I tried to stay away from King. You can't do it. It's like staying away from taxes. Sooner or later, he'll get you.
For what I get paid to get into the ring, I owe it to my fans to uphold the institution of sportsmanship.
People relate to fighters so much because fighting reflects life.
Our money is bait money, and bait money is not to be used.
I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.
I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened.
I like doing other things. I like getting high, hanging out with my kids. I like drinking. I have so many demons.
I love to hit people. I love to.
I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.
