[By facing] less stressful ... I'll get a great evaluation of what kind of performer I can be. |
[Holyfield believes that his boxing success is a good platform from which to spread the gospel. Before Saturday he believed that people would watch the fight thinking, I want to see what God is going to do for him against Tyson.] I will beat Mike Tyson, ... There is no way I cannot, if I just trust in God. God is that good. |
Get me a home and a good-paying job, take care of my family. |
He meant so much for the sport and to the people. |
I have to have someone who believes I can do it, just like I believe I can. |
I knew with his mentality, his ego, he was gonna try to knock me out, which was gonna allow me to really hit him, ... But my corner stopped it. That was a disappointment I had to overcome, to be able to understand that they actually felt I shouldn't be taking no punches and that they didn't want me to get hurt. So now I have to find a new trainer. |
I still love Mike; it's just those demons that possess him and make him do things. He needs to find a new savior. |
I support the cause of the global peace rally and I look forward to being here and support and hoping that everybody can come together and share same vision about being in one world. Its gonna take more than one person to do this. |
I was ready to tackle him, throw him down, do something that would get me disqualified. |
I'm going back to the drawing board and pray and give it serious thought. |
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters. |
My goal is to be the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. |
No. I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics. |
Of course, it is me being able to reach my goal, |
Out of ego, I wouldn't go down [in class] to fight somebody. |
