○ Boxing is like jazz. The better it gets, the less people appreciate it.
○ The way to become great is not to try to be great, but to want something so bad and work so hard at it that in the process, you become great.
○ Realists are those who accept things as they are, optimists hope they will be different.
○ A warrior must know not only how to fight, but also when to fight.
○ I don't like to knock anybody out. I like to show that I'm the best.
○ You have to train and you have to focus because a lot of people are depending on you. You have to live up to their hopes and aspirations.
