“I think my whole living in vain involves me. I know that the biggest help for me is to help someone else in so many different ways.”

Every time someone starts talking about weight, it takes away from the fight. No one is born at that weight. We grew into that weight. It is all about the challenge, more so than the weight.

I got three whippings a day from my mama.

When you do not change up a lot, people may know you a lot better than they should.

The word of God steadies me. He says your trials and tribulations make you who you are. So you can see my whole story in the way I endured and overcame some testing experiences.

When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.

I’ve had a great life following my faith and my instincts.

A champion shows who he is by what he does.

The game’s been good to me and I hope I’ve been good to the game. I’m 50 years old and I’ve pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing.

Either I believe I can be the best heavyweight fighter in the world and beat everyone, or I will not. I feel I can beat everyone as a heavyweight.

When you have a sound mind, you can do what’s necessary.

Pressure bursts pipes. I thank God for giving me peace of mind to overcome pressure. The difference between winning and losing is when pressure hits.

I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.

A champion shows who he is by what he does when he’s tested. When a person gets up and says ‘I can still do it’, he’s a champion.

The most important thing about being a father is being able to forgive yourself. If you don’t forgive yourself, you’re not going to forgive your kids, either.

It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.

When you refuse to fight guys because you say you are better than them, that is not really being the best. If I could just fight certain fighters that fit my style, I would look great in all of them.

My biggest goal in life will be achieved when I have a family, when I have my own kids that I can raise myself and bring up based on what I know. I always think it’s the wildest idea – raising a whole, entire human is insane to me, and I’ve always wanted kids.

Think bigger. Forget limits. Embrace the idea of endless possibility…. It will change you.

I believe that the biggest problem that humanity faces is an ego sensitivity to finding out whether one is right or wrong and identifying what one’s strengths and weaknesses are.

The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man. Is that these moralists came to make bad people good. Jesus came to make dead people live!

No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.

Put on a sweater and really great sneakers with a big scarf, and you’ll look so stylish. For me, they are an everyday essential.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

If God is your partner, make your plans BIG!
