I've got a history of frustrating guys and making them angry.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from - the penitentiary.

There's always a chance you will see something new in a fight. Especially in boxing.

It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary.

I still shop at Costco. I just started tipping two years ago.

You think it's hard for me when I go in the ring and fight? That's the least of my problems. I think about the five years that I did in prison. I think about the nine years on parole. Nothing - nothing! - can compare to that struggle. I'm telling you, from being an ex-convict with 30 convictions, a degree nowhere to be found and black? I'm done.

I am going in there to win this fight. I don't think people are taking me seriously. I'm gonna surprise a lot of people. This guy helped two people make history.
