Michael Dokes could have given me problems had we fought because he was a boxer like me as well but guys who were not pure boxers never gave me problems.

It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once-when I was poor.

I appreciate the support that the fans have given me all these years and especially fans like yourself throughout Canada.

I still feel that I am in my prime right now but I think my best fights were in my thirties.

Scott Ledoux is a chump, I didn't try to kill him but he tried to make the fight a racial issue. He is nothing and with his commentary on ESPN2 telecasts he is not even good at that either.

One of the best ones out there was a guy named Howard Cosell. He was the best.

George Foreman is easier and has the bigger name and have you noticed that Foreman never calls me out or ever mentions my name? He is afraid of me like most fighters are and most people want to forget about Larry Holmes, like he never ever existed.

I have a lot of friends and fans in Canada and as a matter of fact I met a fan from there that came down to my office. It was nice and we took pictures and had a nice talk.

I won't say I won't fight again but I don't think anyone wants to fight me so I am finished and I will just continue with boxing exhibitions.

I always felt good about myself. I was just an average person. I always felt I could do anything anyone else could. If an average person makes up their mind to do something, they can.

You can't put those guys like Marciano or anyone else in with today's class of fighters.

Fighters today are much bigger, stronger and quicker and not only that but referees, judges and doctors back then were very strict and if your head got busted up the fight would be stopped.

I think George Foreman must have gained about 350 lbs and is slow as ever.

Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.

I was more experienced then those guys and when I fought Evander Holyfield I had a detached retina and I went the full twelve rounds with him.

The guys today are just too strong and back then they would take many hard punches to land one.

I don't really make plans and I just want to be happy and continue with my business and take care of my wife and kids. I want to sit back, relax and enjoy life.

Joe Louis was a good Heavyweight, good boxer but he was kind of in the same boat as Marciano, weighing about 190 to 200 lbs.

I have the experience, ability and I punch very hard and my legs are still good so all that helped me in the Ray Mercer fight.

I'm not in the K-1 tournament. We thought about it but they really don't want me as they feel I might get hurt so that's fine with me but I do see a lot of guys out there that I feel I can take.
