Fighters used to be afraid of the Russians, Cubans but then I'd figure them out and figure out how to beat them.

When I was fighting Tyrell Biggs, Tyson was telling me at ringside to hit him to the ribs. We always had a mutual respect for each other since we sparred those early times. We got that over with.

I don't have anything else to prove.

If I don't feel the same hunger as I once did then I definitely shouldn't box any more.

In boxing, if you think you will lose... you're already halfway there.

I am proud to be in Los Angeles. I have a lot of fans that love me here. When you talk about the Meccas of boxing - Las Vegas, New York - now you have to talk about Los Angeles.

You can consider me like fine wine. I just get better with age.
