“There's no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I'm the most athletic heavyweight in the division.”
“I'm the guy who has everything it takes to be heavyweight champion of the world. It's not just about being great inside the ring: it's about being able to do great things outside of the ring. Not everyone has that. I love to be out there with the people.”
“I can be a tennis player, a golf player, and even a soccer player.”
“I've been talking about unifying the division for a long time.”

“It don't matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle: I'm going to fight like heavyweight champions do.”
“God definitely blessed me with power. I still don't know the limits of my own power.”
