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.

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

I don't fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.

A lot of times, in the beginning of my career, I put pressure on myself just because I wanted to perform so well. I just wanted to be perfect.

Anything I've asked of MGM Grand, they've done for me in a heartbeat. They're all about making entertainers and athletes happy.

I'm always going to love my father.

I'm a man of my word.
