When You Have A Sound Mind, You

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.

I Lost My First Fight At The Boys Club At 11 Years Old And Quit The Team. My Mother Told Me I Had To Go Back Because She Didn't Raise No Quitter. I Lost A Second Fight And Quit Again And Still My Mother Wouldn't Let Me. She Made Me Go Back And Try Again.

The Big Guys Choose Who They Want To Fight And They Think About History: 'how Many Times I Defended My Title.' They Try To Break A Record: 'how Long I Was There.' But If You Look At The Pedigree, Who They Fought, Ain't Nobody Gonna Give Them Credit For It Because They Fought A Lot Of People With No Experience.

I Got Three Whippings A Day From My Mama.

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.
