Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that's it; your career is over.

I remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail.

It's hard to talk about yourself.

I'm not religious, but I believe that what I have is a gift, and I respect it and live up to it.

Sugar Ray Robinson was probably the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time.

I always expect unexpected challenges.

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