Brownsville girls are known for being quick-tempered.
I truly, truly suffered depression, to the deep core.
I know how to sell a fight.
Naysayers have been saying stuff my whole career.
I'm the people's champion.
After the Klitschko fight they left me for dead in the hospital. It was just my wife and me - we were alone and had no money.
It wasn't until the birth of my daughter that I realised I had to get it together. I had my second chance in life to do what I'm doing, which is inspire people to not give up.
After I won but then lost my world title I ended up with no money. Then my dad died in prison.
My weight blew up to 400 lbs and I couldn't bend down to tie my own shoelaces.
I respect Haye as a man and for being a former two-weight world champion. But not as a boxer.
No guy with a Ph.D. is going to beat me.
I had to fight in K-1 in Japan to make a living between fighting and doing commercial work over there, and it's been a roller coaster in a sense, but it's been a smooth one.
Boxing's been good to me.
It took me years on top of years to grow thick skin and it took me many hurtful days.
I lost to Lennox Lewis in a very controversial decision.
People want to see knockouts.
People want to see blood. They don't care anymore if you can box for 12 rounds. They don't appreciate the art of the good boxer.
Honestly, I feel better at 35 than I did at 25.
The goal is to be heavyweight champion of the world.
I feel like winning the title was a curse. It was something that I always wanted to achieve. I got it, but it didn't turn out the way I thought. The business side of it has not been very good.
