You Just Don't Heal That Easy Unless

When I Was 15 Or 16 And I Started Climbing Up The Ladder Of Success In Amateur Boxing, A Reporter Asked Me, "what Do You Want To Be?" I Think He Was Expecting Me To Say, "a Champion." I Said, "i Want To Be Special." I Don't Know Why I Said That, But I Didn't Just Want To Be A Fighter. I Wanted To Have An Impact With People, Particularly Kids.

Were All Given Some Sort Of Skill In Life. Mine Just Happens To Be Beating Up On People.

If I Hadn't Had The Talent, The Networks Wouldn't Have Televised My Fights. No One Has Made Me; I Made Myself. I Paid My Dues

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

When I Turned Pro, Muhammad Ali Was Laying Back, And I Was Able To Fill Up An Area That Was Empty.
