My mother was watching on television and she doesn't want me to hurt anyone.

As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.

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.

My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

Anybody going into boxing already has brain damage.

Evil lurks where disappointment lodges.

One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.
