As a professional athlete and someone who has spent almost his entire life in boxing, not a day goes by when I don't think about coming back, but I am retired, and after speaking to my family and following a great deal of introspection, I have decided to stay retired.

I think my body went through a lot, went through the wringer. In terms of being inside the ring, getting hit, but also outside the ring, living a crazy life.

Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.

I wouldn't recommend [boxing] to any child of mine. I would rather he played golf or something.

Ever since I've been boxing, it's always been the case that when I go inside the ring a switch goes off and my attitude changes totally from the person I am outside it. I really can't explain why or how.

My dad has never once told me after a fight that I did well.
