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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
