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.

Ever since I met [my wife], my life has been different. I have what I want. I have my Jewel in Millie.

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

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 was a little kid who used to fight a lot in the street-and get beat up.

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.

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.
