“People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down.”

My dream was to play for Alabama – football, basketball.

This is no game. You get up in there, and you take some punches. You risk your life, and then let me see you talk then. That’s why I don’t respect people who criticize fighters.

I am going to get world-wide recognition from whoever wants it, and whoever wants to challenge me.

When I am in the ring, all I think about is knocking my opponent’s head off, getting him out of there. Hurting him. Putting pain to him. I will have no mercy. I will have no pity.

You have to, as an individual, know how to tune that stage of your life that’s in the past out.

When one guy is doing good, it makes all the others want to achieve greatness.

I’m ready for Joseph Parker. The question is, is he ready for me?

My goal is to unify the division. Whoever’s got those belts, that’s who I want.

Every guy I touch, it’s the same result. When I land, it’s like seeing one of those preachers on TV. When I touch them, they fall out.

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you’ve got a dangerous man on your hands.

To make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I’m the right man for the job… I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

I would love to go to England.

The British scene in boxing, not just the heavyweight division, is popping.

There is no bigger fight than Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

Boxing is my true calling. I’ve found my purpose in life.

I don’t have to psych myself up, or do something special mentally – I look through the scope, get my target in the cross hairs, and kill my enemy, before he kills one of my people.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved.

Well, the title “An Inconvenient Truth” is a way of highlighting the reasons why some people, including the president, don’t seem to accept the truth.

Don’t matter how much money you got, there’s only two kinds of people: there’s saved people and there’s lost people.

We never get accustomed to being less important to other people than they are to us.

Many people think they want things, but they don’t really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough.

The people and opportunities your business needs are out there, but the only way to uncover them is to take an active role in bringing your social network to life.

When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
