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

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

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

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.

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.
