Theres 3 things you need to remember in boxing, work hard, work harder, and work hardest

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I want to be the best fighter. I would like to fight in the biggest fights.

I’m always having fun in training and in boxing. I think it’s because boxing is my passion.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I’ll love him.

As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds – I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

You’re still my idol.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…

My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.

I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It’s easy.

I’ve already established my (political)machinery. It’s like a car. It’s fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.

Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

Oh, my God, I don’t think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

People do not expect to find chastity in a whorehouse. Why, then, do they expect to find honesty and humanity in government, a congeries of institutions whose modus operandi consists of lying, cheating, stealing, and if need be, murdering those who resist?

Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.

Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.

Expect the unexpected.

Leadership is not bullying and leadership is not aggression. Leadership is the expectation that you can use your voice for good. That you can make the world a better place.

You come to realize that life is short, and you have to step up. Don’t feel sorry for me. Much is expected of those who are strong.
