I've never believed in tying myself up in a long-range contract, and I've been very outspoken on that subject.

I've always been quiet and kind of shy. I'm sociable, but I would probably migrate to a corner.

Look at football, where you still have injuries no matter how much they improve the helmets and other equipment.

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.

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 think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.

Duran always disturbs me. The guy is just weird. Before our first fight, both Duran and his wife gave my wife the finger.
