Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.
I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.
If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
