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

You have to know you can win. You have to think you can win. You have to feel you can win.

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.

I'll think, If this is his first punch, how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself

Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

You just don't heal that easy unless you're young.

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
