I think the media, the boxing public hasn't seen me at my best simply because great opposition brings out the best in you.

Once you're inside the ring, a fight is a fight. Fans can't fight for you, the hometown crowd can't fight for you.

Every boxer is tough for me. I don't think any opponent is better than any other. Every opponent is the same for me.

I respect every opponent no matter their record, no matter their title belts. I approach each opponent the same way.

I always feel like I'm in the best shape of my life for every fight I'm in.

I'm confident you haven't seen the best yet. And I will only get better through time and through tougher competition.

(You know) you're improving from fight to fight (when you can) showcase your talents against greater opponents every time.

One should marry when one stops having a good time and settle down.

Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.

Failure to shed tears is a failure to live life fully. And the one thing that life requires of us all is to live it. Never be embarrassed by your ability to be alive.

Our best thoughts come from others.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

Get money - but stop once in a while to figure what it is costing you to get it. No man gets it without giving something in return. The wise man gives his labor and ability. The fool gives his life.

No physical quantity can continue to change exponentially forever. Your job is delaying forever.

The body is just the vehicle for something else.

Anything that God wants you to have, there's no devil in hell and no person on earth that can keep you from having it if you just won't quit and give up.

Life offers us tickets to places which we have not knowingly asked for.
