Everything you want to know about a fighter is in his eyes. The look in his eyes tells the truth.

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.

Generally, the more weight you put on, the less effective you are.

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

I want my fights to be seen as plays that have a beginning, a middle and an end

It is wonderful. It truly is. It is the only thing that is real! It's you against me, it's challenging another guy's manhood. With gloves. Words cannot describe that feeling of being a man, of being a gladiator, of being a warrior. It's irreplaceable.

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.
