I found boxing when I was 14 years old. I went down to the gym because my brother, who used to beat me up all the time, introduced me to boxing. I found boxing to be a sport that I felt safe in because I controlled what was in those four squares.

Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.

Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.

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've always believed that you can be whatever you want to be if you are willing to sacrifice and dedicate yourself.

I'm a competitor and a very proud man. If a guy beats me once, he'll have to do it again to make me believe him.

The only way for a fighter to get back in shape is to fight his way back.
