After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on. Like everyone, I have my flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws.

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

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

I think about making a comeback every single day. I went running, I went training, did that for a few days. But my body couldn't handle it.

Every time I work out in the gym, every time I train, I know I'm going to do well. But I like surprising the fans, the critics, the people who doubt me.

I feel amazing. In my life right now, I have so much motivation. I am so hungry and so determined... I am young, I am healthy and I feel great - 42 is the new 32.

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.
