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.

Boxing has been in my blood since I can remember. It comes naturally to me, and I've enjoyed it ever since I started, at the age of six.

I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and know I took everyone on.

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.

I told you before, I'll fight anyone. I don't care.

By the time I retire, I will have fought the best. I will have made my money. Maybe I'll be a boxing commentator. I'll go back to school, definitely. I already have a plan. My life's set. I'll be on an island, married, playing golf in the sun. That will be my life.
