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

My intention was to fight Durán ASAP because I knew Durán's habits. I knew he would indulge himself, he'd gain 40–50 lbs and then sweat it off to make 147.

Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.

People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it's worth it, and it's a great thing.

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

I'm a free agent. I haven't allowed any promoters to have exclusive options on my fight. I don't need a promoter.

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