For what I get paid to get into the ring, I owe it to my fans to uphold the institution of sportsmanship.

The only thing I do is just pray for inspiration, for a way of thinking, because I don't have any particular goal in sight.

One of my friends once saw another guy's (criminal) record and said, 'Look, this guy is a born troublemaker, just a loser.' I had to tell him, 'No, that's my record - and it doesn't include my juvenile history.'

A man that is a friend to everyone is an enemy to himself.

My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.

How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry.

Confidence applied properly is the path of genius. You must always be in a state of confidence. And the way you sustain a state of confidence is by testing yourself. Difficult quagmires that may occur; there's always a test. You have to seek them out. You constantly have to test yourself to prepare for these quagmires. That's why I always put myself to the test.
