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.

I think sleeping was my problem in school. If school had started at 4:00 in the afternoon, I'd be a college graduate today.

You live and learn. Then you die and forget it all.

A hero is someone right who doesn't change.

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

I know from experience that you should never give up on yourself or others, no matter what.

There's more to boxing than hitting. There's not getting hit, for instance.
