I don't duck or dodge anybody.

When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn't have anything growing up.

I’m not in this sport to see how hard I can get hit or to see how many big punches I can take. I am in this game to fight as long as I can. I am trying to dish a lot of punishment.

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

When I was about 8 or 9, I lived in New Jersey with my mother and we were seven deep in one bedroom and sometimes we didn't have electricity.

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

I'll back up anything my dad says.
