He loves the sport of boxing but he didn't want to put up with these betrayals from his own body. That's what he feels ? the body has betrayed him time and time again and probably would continue to do so in the future. |
He made a mistake by going into the ring, but it was his nephew, and this hooligan (Judah) -- that's what he is, a hooligan -- committed these very flagrant fouls. |
He said no, his body was betraying him. He loved the sport, but he didn't want to put up with this betrayal. |
He was manipulating the scales to try and make the weight. |
Hopefully you mature as you get older. He's a bright kid. I think the lessons are now sinking in. I think he knows that as a celebrity, he has to protect himself. He can't go to the wrong places. |
How much more can I say? I got to save some for a different day. |
I anticipated this ruling and my plan is to begin negotiations with Dennis. |
I believed at the time that [it] was because he loved to eat so much that he didn't want to make weight. But obviously he is a heavyweight; he's a good heavyweight. |
I counseled him he shouldn't retire, he should forfeit the title. He said no. I think he thought this out. Nine months, a year from now, he could he change his mind. Right now, I think not. |
I don't think there's any question. I think this will do more numbers than those two fights put together. I would be really disappointed if this fight goes less than 600,000 homes. Man, this is the heavyweight championship with the two best heavyweights. The reason King didn't win the bid is everybody talked everybody else into thinking this fight wouldn't do 200,000 homes. They're nuts! They don't know what they're talking about! |
I have never seen a period of time when the heavyweight championship meant so little. It's clear. |
I knew what he was trying to do. That type of stuff, which really meant nothing, fueled the controversy and animosity between us. |
I know some heavyweights are disaffected with King and are looking to do other things, ... If he can put together a tournament, God love him. But remember, you've got to put John Ruiz in it. |

I know that this is going to be a moneymaker from the get-go, |
