Thomas Hearns

“A champion shows who he is by what he does when he's tested. When a person gets up and says 'I can still do it,' he's a champion.”

“I have the same hunger, same preacher, same desire as I did when I first started.”

“You don't just go out there and fight. You have to be smart.”

“When you get in that ring, you gotta have a little bit of killer instinct.”

“My right hand is my best friend. It has never let me down.”

“I've made a lot of money, but I've got a lot of memories. I've been to a lot of places, and I've had a lot of fun.”

“I don't need any more belts. I've got enough belts to hold my pants up.”

“People will always remember the big fights, the big moments.”

“I'm a man that has a lot of respect for the sport of boxing.”

“The first thing I would do is get a kicker! You need a kicker.”

“I have a right to my legacy. I'm the first man to win five world titles.”

“I always wanted to be a world champion. I was ready for it.”
