Stay On Your Toes And Always Move

Madison Square Garden, November 1984. I Don't Recall Taking Too Much Fear Into The Ring. I Knew I Could Fight. But I Got A Big Shock. They Put Me In With This Rough, Tough Veteran Called Lionel Byarm. He Tested Me To The Limit. But I Fought My Heart Out And, In The End, I Prevailed. The Story Of My Life, In My Very First Fight.

Opponents Make An Excuse As To Why They Do Not Want To Fight Someone. Who Are The People You Actually Make A Big Payday Fighting Against? There Are Not Too Many People Out There. Most People Refuse To Fight People That Are Necessary. They Think Winning Is The Only Thing To Do. It Is Not Winning If You Have Not Fought The Best.

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.

My Goal Is To Be The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Of The World.

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.
