Am I complicated? Nah, I'm interesting. I just like having a good time.
From Gerry Cooney
All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none. So when the fighter is through, he is through. While he was fighting his management was very excited for him, but now that he is done, that management team is moving on.
Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.
You take that walk from the dressing room to the ring and that's when the real man comes out. Then you climb up those four stairs and into the ring. Then finally, you can't wait for the bell to ring.
Every Saturday and Sunday, when the other guys were out having a good time at the mall, I was at home working in the garden.
Boxing gave me a voice to express the anger I felt for where I came from.
I've spent most of my life in prison. I was a prisoner of my fear and my low self-esteem.
I've had a long, long road with lots of ups and downs. But that's all behind me now.
I'm a happy guy. I just want to see people laugh and smile.
You have a small period of time when you can perfect your career and become good at it. A lot of guys get distracted, which only hurts them. You must stay focused and work very hard at boxing.
