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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

All any of us wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have been as rich without us here.

There is no way to find a logical way to deal with this when logic isn't involved.

One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others by means of love friendship indignation and compassion.

Pity and need Make all flesh kin. There in no caste in blood.

Donald Trump is a genuine threat to America.

Yes, its one of the basic truths of the universe,....Things don't disappear. They just change, and change and change again.

I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.

I love and adore men. I think their energy is so sexy, and fabulous, and active. But the imbalance in the male and female power is deadly. It is literally taking us to extinction.

There's also this weirdness to California, this darkness, it's a place where people come to follow their dreams and sometimes don't make it.

The woods were made for the hunters of dreams, The brooks for the fishers of song; To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game The streams and the woods belong.
