Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream.

I'd have to say losing the title to Ali in '74 was the lowest moment in sports for me. It was the most devastating thing in my boxing career, and it still hurts to this day.

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.

The integration of a headgear in professional boxing would do so much to make it safer for young men. They could go into the sport, make a lot of money and then come out and be good grandfathers.

Money is a good thing, but every morning you have to get up with something no one else in the world gets up with - that's that image. That face you see in the mirror, you got to love it, and you better do some things that you feel good about inside of you. Of course, money is going to come, but make certain that you do some good with it.

People are hurt in love affairs and never recover, more than a boxing match.

If you can maintain that integrity in whatever you do, you can't go wrong. That's what I tell my kids, anyway.

When you speak to a lot of kids, as I've done over the years, you know what to say, keep them laughing, good illustrations and learn to read.

I tell my sons all the time, 'The most important thing in your life is fitness,' but a lot of fighters go overboard.

Heroes have a rough time because they stand up when they ought not to, they speak when they ought not to; they always have to go that extra mile.
