You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren't true, but you never hear about the positive.

When I step in the ring, I bring everything I have.

Boxing has always been work to me, a job. If I could say anything to a youngster taking up boxing it would be to "be smart and not take a lot of punches". It's called the sweet science for a reason. Hit and not be hit, make a lot of money without taking a lot of punishment. That's what it's about.

It's the hurt business, it's boxing. We're there to get it in.

I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing.

Every day as a kid, I went to the boxing gym. I knew boxing before I knew anything else. And I was once told if you show your child how to do something and you constantly push them, then eventually they'll become masters. They'll become a master of their craft. So that's probably what happened with me and the sport of boxing.

All work is easy work.
