I would think about the outcome. Visualize sometimes. Because it never comes out the way you want it to. Fight the way I know how to fight. Whatever comes up, comes up.

Bob Arum and Don King can do their thing but if I fought for those guys and they put the money up like they are supposed to then I don't have a problem.

The thought of being broke scares me. It doesn't last forever so people need to manage their finances properly and plan ahead.

I think Ali was a fan of mine, even though he never said it. A lot of fighters thought I was pretty good. Nobody every really spoke different on that. But a lot of fighters thought I was good so.

With a record of 75 fights and 6 losses, some of the losses were very questionable including Brian Nielsen when we fought in Denmark. I knew I won but they didn't give me that fight.

I don't have to train to beat Scott Ledoux. He looks like a short, fat butterball which he was when I fought him back in the eighties.

When I was over there they tried to poison me and I wasn't feeling good anyway but I really felt I beat him but didn't get the decision.

Those guys were made for me and Muhammad because they come straight in and don't back up but you had to watch out for his punching power but if we could have neutralized that then we would have been fine.

Muhammad could take a very good punch. He was slick, he could move, he could hit, make you miss, good hand speed and combinations and one of the greatest fighters of all time in my opinion.

I never tried to be a mercenary or a killer but a hard working fighter.

With my boxing skills, long jab, good right hand and long legs, I could withstand a lot of what they have. K-1 would have to pay me a lot of money to compete and get kicked.

As for the Klitschko brothers, I do feel that they are coming along pretty good but they have a lot of learning to do.

My fans know the name Larry Holmes and that he always gave it his all.

We put our life on the line to fight for them, put on a show and these guys take our money so whatever happens to Bob Arum, Don King or anyone else is fine with me.

Yeah, I thought I could be heavyweight champion of the world when I was working with Ali and Joe Frazier and Earnie Shavers and all those guys. Because they were older than me and I was doing my thing.

All fighters are prostitutes and all promoters are pimps.

I was probably the best that ever walked this earth. And I could take a punch. I could deliver a punch. I didn't have the hardest punch in the world but my punches were sharp and they were crisp. And if you took too many of them, you would be knocked out.

I can say it right now, I'm done!

I am still quick at 250 to 260 lbs and I am smarter.

Ali was a guy that had a lot of discipline. If you hung around him, you'd be able to get some of that discipline that he had. And I learned from that. He was a sweet man.
