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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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