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.

It's hard to talk about yourself.

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.

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.

Success is attaining your dream while helping others to benefit from that dream materializing.

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