'If you hit a man in a place that hurts, that's the place to hit him again. You only have to hit him half as hard there as any place else to finish him.'

'When people meet me, they say that I'm different to how I appear on the telly. When people see me on the telly, they see a ****y, arrogant, brash, bombastic fighter who just wants to win, but when they meet me they think that I'm just normal.'

'The best advice I ever got was from a kid in the gym, who told me, 'when you are in the ring, make believe a cop is chasing you; don't let him catch you.''

'I'd like to think that I was fan-friendly. I was good for TV and good for the fans. You have an obligation to the fans to give them the best show possible. I tried to do that every time, and I'm very appreciative that the fans still remember my fights.'

'I am not an animal in my personal life, but in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rings, sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But I can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It's what makes me win, it's what makes me enjoy fighting.'

'From the time I was six, possibly even before, I wanted to fight anyone. Other kids would dare me; 'Betcha can't beat him.' 'Betcha I can,' I'd reply. I'd provoke two or three guys, I didn't care. I just wanted to mix it up. I never lost. By Junior High the violence had become second nature. Everyone knew my reputation, and it was a reputation I cultivated.'

'The best thing Marvin has going for him, his special quality, is that he's a proud Champion. He's a rare breed. He walks into the ring with the kind of vanity that a select few movie stars have. Not like some guys, certain Heavyweights, who look like used cars.'

'Jack was my idol. I copied his style of fighting and felt proud when some writer referred to me as 'The Little Dempsey.' I enjoyed watching him fight and he used to come and see me in the ring, too. One night I fought Jock Malone in Newark, with Jack at ringside. Dempsey's presence seem to bring out the best in me. I was inspired and poor old Jock didn't have a chance. I pummelled him all over the ring and then, as if it were rehearsed, I belted Malone over the ropes and into Dempsey's lap. I glowed all over when Jack flashed me a warm grin.'
