I've worked hard and accomplished what I've accomplished in the heavyweight scene.

There's no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I'm the most athletic heavyweight in the division.

I've been knocked down more than any heavyweight champion in history.

Listen, anyone in the heavyweight division in the top ten, there is no easy fight. I don't care what you say.

If you're in the UFC, you're one of the baddest dudes around.

I'm on the record for five losses or something like that, but the one guy who really whipped me was Muhammad Ali. And it taught me one big lesson. That no matter how big and strong you are, you're going to have to use your mind. You must think things out.

The guys that I beat in the 'Super Six,' every one of those fights was tough, even if I did dominate some.

I know I'm a good fighter, probably a great fighter. I've fought the best in the world since I was a kid, and I've been fortunate to come out on top.

If you look at my career, towards the end you will see I was fighting like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one.

I beat Larry Holmes and George Foreman. I whupped Mike Tyson twice. I had my ear chewed off and spat on the ground in front of me. I've seen everything it is possible to see in boxing. I know this business better than anyone. So I live and die by my own decisions.
