Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

I think an athlete should be honest. I know it's difficult, but if a guy knocked me on my can, I couldn't very well say, I slipped.

My very best memory of Montreal was the moment inside the Olympic arena when I was waiting under the stadium and those majestic gates opened up. It was a whole other world.

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.

Boxing was the only career where I wouldn't have to start out at the bottom. I had a good resume.

Aaron Pryor wants to get into the ring with me. He wants to be able to retire, and he will. For health reasons.

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