All the dogs I have are German shepherds from Germany, and I fly them back to Germany to show them.

When I found Jesus Christ, I learned to be a better athlete. I didn't have to go out there and knock them out in the first round. I've learned to be patient, skillful in the ring. At the same time, I wanted to prove to other boxers that you can take off this killer instinct stuff, you can be a great athlete, a great boxer, and love your brother.

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.

After you work out, you have your dog with you. There's no better companion. You've got to have a friend. I didn't like opponents who had dogs with them. Because you know they had a little edge. They have a friend

If you can maintain that integrity in whatever you do, you can't go wrong.
