If you can believe this, I didn't fight for my first world title fight till I had 58 fights, so I really appreciated what I was fighting for and for whom as well.

It's a lot about the individual and it's really up to you, how much you dedicate to the fight and how hard you are working and that's where the outcome will come.

Boxing gave me the opportunities to grow into the person that I am today.

It was a natural process, because when we go to the ring we are human beings, but once you feel the punches and the competition that's when the beast comes out and takes hold of us.

I think I went on a nice winning streak of about 20 fights until I fought Jorge Reyes and he stopped me in 6 rounds after I punched myself out.

When I was in top shape I'd go to the ring and show my conditioning.

See, I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.

Of course after the fight you want to make sure that you're okay and so is the other guy, it's a brotherhood in there, so you want to make sure everyone is okay after the war is over.

Not many people do at the age of 21 or younger even, know how to act nor could be concerned with anything other than fighting, women and money.

I do think the heart can balance out the mind, if your heart is in a good place it can give you the strength to do the right thing and behave the right way and overcome the mind.

I'd say the most memorable thing for me was my dedication and motivation in how I got so involved in boxing.

When I was younger I could remember anything whether it had happened or not.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

I was very short. Everybody else was two years older in my class, and I had curly hair and was teacher's pet.

This proves Indians do nothing else but surf the Web.

Laws are not masters but servants, and he rules them who obey them.

Men are not great or small because of their material possessions. They are great or small because of what they are.

Many argue; not many converse.

I don't play to prove people right or wrong. I just want to win.

In fact, a rather striking aspect of business propaganda in the United States is the demonization of government, starting after the Second World War.

I fail sometimes, I succeed sometimes, so that's fair enough. It's a package deal. It comes with that package: failures and success.
