Klitschko was the reigning champion for a decade and regarded by many as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. I'm never going to face another opponent with that legacy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whether someone like Klitschko wins, loses, draws, or gets knocked out in five seconds, he is still a big name.
Although I think of myself as the greatest heavyweight, I do respect the legends of the past for what they did. But they are not my heroes.
I would love to see Wladimir Klitschko fight Antonio Tarver for many reasons. One is Tarver talks a lot; he would build up a big fight. And Tarver is coming off of a great victory. So I think he would be a good opponent.
I've been knocked down more than any heavyweight champion in history.
You don't know what it is to be heavyweight champ of the world until you become the heavyweight champ of the world.
I'm always telling Don King's people when there's a top-10 heavyweight they've got that needs an opponent, I'm ready.
I don't have any doubt in my mind: I could knock out any man in the heavyweight division.
I used to tease Joe Louis by reminding him that I was the greatest of all time. But Joe Louis was the greatest heavyweight fighter ever.
A perfect record does not mean that someone is the greatest. Rocky Marciano never lost a fight, but I never hear anyone say he's the greatest heavyweight champion of all time.
The Klitschko boys, they're great fighters, but they're just boring here in America.
