I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.

Showing is better than telling.

I don't fight for bragging rights. I've proved myself.

I come from a very rough background, and I'm saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

I've been in the sport of boxing for a long time, but I haven't been able to bring my 'A-game' totally out. I've beaten fighters with my 'C-Game' and with my 'D-Game,' but I haven't been able to beat anybody with my 'A-Game.'

I'm a firm believer that before you can go anywhere, you have to conquer the level that you are at, just like young kids do it today with video games, they have to finish one level to go to the next one. Conquer one level at the time, and only then you'll get where you want to go to.

If I did want to come back, I was going to make, what, $50 million? You know what; don't call my phone unless you've got $100 million.
