I don't know if I'm the best Pound-For-Pound fighter ever. I know I'm close. I gotta be Top 5.

I think I might've turned 39, look like I turned 29, feel like I turned about 19.

I'm having a wonderful time in training. It's so funny because you go through ups and you go through downs. People have to realize that my career started on a down. I got ripped off a Gold Medal at the Olympics but it didn't stop me and it made me a better person.

I got some real rough dental work done not long ago, and my mouth's still numb right here [points to the left side of his chin]. So it kind of messes with my speech a little bit, so don't y'all think that I took too many cos I haven't.

He don't know what it is to lose, so I gotta teach him something that he doesn't know yet.

When I thought about it, I said "if you quit now, how you gonna explain to any other kid coming up that if something don't go their way, they're supposed to get up and go hard at it next time?" You can't if you quit.

Sorry to disappoint you but I don’t even watch the Olympics no more.
