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

The fight life, that was easy. This is a battle I have every day.

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

It brings me great grief and sadness to hear of the passing of one of the best and most respected trainers of this era, Emanuel Steward. I learned a lot from him during our professional relationship and I will be forever grateful for his help during that time. We were also friends and I know I am going to miss him as so many others will too. He was an important part of our boxing community.

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

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.

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.
