I saw Todd Bridges talk about being abused on Oprah. Something that he said, or an expression that he made that gave me that little boost I needed to be open about it and to talk about it as transparently as I did. When I told my wife, she couldn't believe it. She was petrified, because it's such a no-no, taboo, a hands-off subject. But I'd have to say hearing Todd Bridges on Oprah was my watershed moment.

When I'm not in training. I'll walk around the streets at 153, but it's not solid; it's my socializing weight.

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

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.

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

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.

Boxing was not something I truly enjoyed. Like a lot of things in life, when you put the gloves on, it's better to give than to receive.
