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

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.

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 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.

When people say I can't or I musn't, I always say I can and I will.

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

You get to be famous or have some notoriety and there are so many people who want a piece of you.
