I've truly been blessed. I've taken my time, kept my eye on the prize and done what I've had to do. So I'm able to make a choice when to retire. Most fighters really couldn't.

All work is easy work.

I fight myself. I don't fight to break Ali's record or Sugar Ray Robinson's record. I fight to please myself. I know in my heart where I'm rated. I didn't fight in Ali's era. This is my era.

Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.

People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

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

The ultimate goal is to always break records.
