When I saw Tyson knocking everybody out on TV, I thought, He's goooood. But when I saw him in person, he didn't look as awesome.

I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don't see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win.

After about 25 fights you don't always have to keep going to the bathroom before the fight.

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

Different fights bring out different things. I consider myself a seasoned professional. I have done things in the gym that have not come out yet. People would be amazed if they saw me train.

The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside.

The media can make boxers, controls who makes it big and who doesn’t. They can build up fighters or knock them down.
