Duran always disturbs me. The guy is just weird. Before our first fight, both Duran and his wife gave my wife the finger.

It is wonderful. It truly is. It is the only thing that is real! It's you against me, it's challenging another guy's manhood. With gloves. Words cannot describe that feeling of being a man, of being a gladiator, of being a warrior. It's irreplaceable.

I wouldnt change anything because the mistakes and the hurt are as important as all the great fights. They made me who I am today.

I lay around and wonder why you were always there for me.

I've never believed in tying myself up in a long-range contract, and I've been very outspoken on that subject.

My intention was to fight Durán ASAP because I knew Durán's habits. I knew he would indulge himself, he'd gain 40–50 lbs and then sweat it off to make 147.

You don't play boxing. You really don't. You play golf, you play tennis, but you don't play boxing.
