“I don’t have to fight if I don’t want to.”

If I’m scared and I’m a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

I ain’t never nervous. Never nervous.

God only made one thing in this world that’s perfect – and that’s my boxing record.

I would lie in bed, and I was nine years old, and say to myself: ‘I want to be the richest man in the world.’ I’ve come a long way from there.

I’ve never had a job. I’ve never needed to.

Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder.

I just want to be the best. I haven’t been in an all-out war. That doesn’t mean I’m not the best.

Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.

I come from a very rough background, and I’m saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

You can never overlook a guy.

Things happen for a reason, and the only thing you can do is at night time get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for anything that you did that you didn’t feel was right.

I’m not here to judge Mike Tyson. I’m not here to judge nobody. I’m not here to monitor no other fighters. I respect him for what he did in the sport of boxing. He was an entertainer.

I was able to retire from the sport with all my faculties and not let the sport retire me.

You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.

I’m a man of my word.

A true champion can adapt to anything.

Today, we don’t fight for just one life, we fight for all of them.

Education is a gateway to broadening perceptions, fighting stereotypes, and creating parity in this world.

My life is a life of accepting what the universe has offered me. I don’t fight the universe.

Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves.

The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body; and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.

We’ve got to fight back, and the first step forward is to vote.

You told me it was a mistake to fight the scarred warriors. They were the survivors.

Haha come fight us now Napoleon.
