Let the other guy have whatever he wants before the fight. Once the bell rings he's gonna be disappointed anyway.

That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.

The world is full of people who want to play it safe, people who have tremendous potential but never use it. Somewhere deep inside them, they know that they could do more in life, be more, and have more -- if only they were willing to take a few risks.

When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.

People are hurt in love affairs and never recover, more than a boxing match.

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

The boxing promotion part is really interesting, because I got the chance to do something with my sons. They carry their own weight, and I get a chance to listen to them and see what they have on their minds. I don't have to hand out things to do, and now they have things for me to do. It's an amazing privilege to get the opportunity to work with your children.
