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

Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.

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.

There is always space for improvement, no matter how long you've been in the business.

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

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.

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