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

I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.

We're all endowed with God-given talents. Mine happens to be hitting people in the head.

I learned that I had character defects, that I was allergic to alcohol and drugs, and that I had an obsession with all the bad stuff. But thank God that I woke and that I had good people around me to support me. There's not much more I can say about it. You have to want to be a better person.

I want to be great, something special.

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

My toughest fight was myself. For me to disclose and let things out was not easy because we don't want to seem weak or like we are different, but I learned that it's okay.
