After you work out, you have your dog with you. There's no better companion. You've got to have a friend. I didn't like opponents who had dogs with them. Because you know they had a little edge. They have a friend

The world is full of people who want to play it safe, people who have tremendous potential but never use it. Somewhere deep inside them, they know that they could do more in life, be more, and have more -- if only they were willing to take a few risks.

There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing.

Klitschko has had a good career. A lot of his fights have been out of the country as though he hasn't even been invited into the real heavyweight picture in the United States. He's a good fighter.

In boxing, I had a lot of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I thought, This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for. No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.

All I've ever tried to tell anyone is that I'm not a black man or a white man or anything else. All I've ever been was an American.

Heroes have a rough time because they stand up when they ought not to, they speak when they ought not to they always have to go that extra mile.
