Nothing is more humbling than getting your ass kicked.

[Cus D'Amato] told me, 'You're the type of guy who has to be hurt to learn.' I'm pissed off today because he was right about everything.

Everyone says "I wish I was in your shoes...", the hundreds of people that wish they were in my shoes don't know the tenth of it. If they were in my shoes they would cry like a baby.

I don't understand why people would want to get rid of pigeons. They don't bother no one.

Everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody who helps you is not your friend.

I'm here to serve God and be of service. I'm nothing; everything out here is a lot bigger than me.

I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say.
