You Have To Know You Can Win.

Except For Ali, Fighters Had Never Been Marketable.

I've Never Believed In Tying Myself Up In A Long-range Contract, And I've Been Very Outspoken On That Subject.

I'm So Opposite Of My Profession. No One - Particularly My Mother And Father - Ever Thought I Was Going To Be A Boxer Because I Always Felt That Football And Baseball Were Too Dangerous. I Was Just Such A Quiet Kid.

My Ambition Is Not To Be Just A Good Fighter. I Want To Be Great, Something Special.

Generally, The More Weight You Put On, The Less Effective You Are.
