It is up to the people and boxing fans to give me the respect I deserve once I have finished my career. I personally do not think about my legacy.

All of my fights are planned. I study my opponents from A to Z. How he walks, how he looks, how he speaks, gestures of the human body, which is a certain language that provides you lots of information if you have the ability to read it.

I will teach you how to behave yourself in the ring.

It's such a gift in my life to be able to compete - to have the health.

I know he's retired, but I'm a big fan of Shaquille O'Neal, his game and his personality. I have a pair of his shoes in my office. You see the size of his shoe and think, 'This is not real, this couldn't belong to a human being.' But he is human!

Aggression means emotions. Emotions means you’re gonna get off your plan and that means you’ll lose the fight.

He's been an inspiration for me since the Olympics 1996.
