Life doesn't run away from nobody. Life runs at people.

The way I fight, it's not me beatin' the man. I make the man whip himself.

When I was a boy, I used to pull a big cross saw with my dad. He'd use his right hand, so I'd have to use my left.

If I lose, I'll walk away and never feel bad because I did all I could. There was nothing more to do.

I've achieved 'the American dream.' I feel it's my duty to help others achieve their vision, too - especially the youth.

I had a job to do in the ring, and the businessmen around me had a job to do outside the ring, I did my job by beating up most of the guys they put in front of me and staying in shape, but the people I trusted didn't do their jobs.

Champions aren't made in the ring, they are merely recognized there.
