People still look at me as the champion and that's very important to me.

Oh yeah, I mean every fighter has got be dedicated, learn how to sacrifice, know what the devotion is all about, make sure you're paying attention and studying your art.

Well, you can't trust most people in this game, period; it can be a very shady business.

It's hard to get up at 6am when you're wearing silk pyjamas.

The situation right after the fight wasn't too good; I believe I'm still the only champion in the world who never received the belt inside the ring once you've won the title. I held that against the English fans for a long time but I felt that also motivated me.

If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it.

It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5 am when you've been sleeping in silk pajamas
