You would not be here TODAY if YESTERDAY was your defining moment. LIVE THIS DAY and move towards your dreams. ↗

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. ↗

I'm just one woman away, my mother, from being the same as Mike Tyson. I would've ended up like him if my mama had not been so tough and strong. A lot of people, including Mike, don't know I came from the ghetto. They think I'm too nice and proper. But that's the way my mama raised me - to look people in the eye and respect them. ↗

They don't show Olympic boxing on TV in prime time. They haven't done that since 1988. In 1992, they showed one: Oscar De La Hoya. In 1996, they didn't show it. In 2000, they didn't show it. In 2004, they didn't show it. In 2008, they did not even mention boxing at all. You would think the United States didn't have a boxing team in 2008. ↗

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. ↗

Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country's cause. ↗

My own mother always taught me that fairness was a family value - I think equal pay is about fairness for everyone. ↗

A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote. ↗

Whenever I get the sort of fancy pants idea that I'm doing anything other than pure expression things start to go wrong. When I get too premeditated, things start to go wrong. I just shut that part of my brain off. ↗
