When I was younger, my dad did want me to be perfect, so that's probably why that's installed in me to this day. I want to be perfect at whatever I do. I can't help it. It's just installed in me.

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.

He can have heart, he can hit harder and he can be stronger, but there's no fighter smarter than me.

I'm a man of my word.

The ultimate goal is to always break records.

I don't fight for legacy. I don't fight for none of that, I fight for that check. I'm in the check cashing business.

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