I really feel that if it wasnt for the accident, Id still be fighting. I would have handled some of these fighters. I would have made sure that the doctors would have declared me physically sound; and after that, I would have trained.

The life of a boxer is about fighting for world titles.

I do not fight for free. But I was born to be a fighter.

I am not going to become crazy in the ring, because I am already crazy. And I am not going to die in the ring. I am going to die in bed as an old man.

Everybody says it: black, white; everybody calls me a legend. Italians, Jews. Everybody

If I had the medical clearance to fight, I would want to fight the best. The best would be Mayweather

I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rights. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But i can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting.
