I'm The World Heavyweight Champion. I Consider

I'm Working For The Lord, And Even Though The Lord's Pay Isn't Very High, His Retirement Program Is.

Growing Up Poor, I Didn't Even Have A Lunch To Take To School.

In Boxing, I Had A Lot Of Fear. Fear Was Good. But, For The First Time, In The Bout With Muhammad Ali, I Didn't Have Any Fear. I Thought, "this Is Easy. This Is What I've Been Waiting For". No Fear At All. No Nervousness. And I Lost.

I Wanted The World To Know Where I Was From. I Wanted To Say To The World, "we Gotcha." America Gotcha.

I'm The World Heavyweight Champion. I Consider Myself A Citizen Of The Whole World.
