I look at my children and one thing I'm most proud of, in my heart, are my children.

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.

Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.

Nobody can do everything well, so learn how to delegate responsibility to other winners and then hold them accountable for their decisions.

I wanted the world to know where I was from. I wanted to say to the world, "We gotcha." America gotcha.

I think its so good for boxing when a new guy or new blood as we call it, makes a big statement.

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.
