I know my destiny. I was born into animosity, bigotry and hatred. We had water for white folks, and water for coloured folks. White lines, black lines. I came from Beaufort in South Carolina, and it was tougher than Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
From Joe Frazier
Ali would not be Ali unless I had come along. Him and me had three fights.
This ultimate fighting stuff is something I don't agree with. Once a man is down, you have to let him have a chance to prove how good he is.
When I was a boy, I used to pull a big cross saw with my dad. He'd use his right hand, so I'd have to use my left.
Since I was a boy of five or six, I had it in my mind I would be a world boxing champion.
When I go out there, I have no pity on my brother. I'm out there to win.
Life doesn't run away from nobody. Life runs at people.
This is just another man, another fight, another payday.
Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.
I grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina, in a six-room farmhouse with a couple of leaning posts to keep it from fallin'. I came up in a time when men were men.
