Just a few quotes from the Easton Assasin.
"It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor."

"I came from a dirt farm, now I'm filthy rich."

"Don King doesn't care about black or white. He just cares about green."

“People think that I reached the top overnight; well, it took me fourteen years. I was twenty-nine before I really made it. I've had my jaws and hands broken. One arm is out of place. I've paid my dues in this business.”

“I don't want you guys to write, "Larry Holmes fought one too many."”

“All fighters are prostitutes and all promoters are pimps.”

"I decided to box my way out of the ghetto"

"There is no quit in me."

"King is an equal opportunity dirty bag, he screws everybody."
