“I’m not here to judge Mike Tyson. I’m not here to judge nobody. I’m not here to monitor no other fighters. I respect him for what he did in the sport of boxing. He was an entertainer.”

I’ll back up anything my dad says.

Every home that I have is paid for, every car that I have is paid for, and I am a hundred-million-dollar man. I mean, this is the truth; it’s not a lie.

You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.

People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, ‘I think I should get a job.’ She said, ‘No, just keep boxing.’

I’m always focused.

Everything people say I couldn’t do I’ve done.

I haven’t took no punishment. There’s nothing cool about taking punishment.

Worry about going out there and making your own legacy.

There comes a time when money doesn’t matter.

When I was about 8 or 9, I lived in New Jersey with my mother and we were seven deep in one bedroom and sometimes we didn’t have electricity.

I’m just an American dream.

In the end, you have to protect yourself at all times.

My whole outlook on life is, never judge a book by its cover.

When I step in the ring, I bring everything I have.

I know that there’s a god because I was able to survive everything that I’ve been through – all of the tough times – and I’m still at the top of my game.

No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.

I figured, ‘Why not go into entertainment?’ I love entertaining people. I always loved being extra loud.

I be talking to females but nothing serious, just entertaining everybody.

Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I’m not treating my opponent like my enemy. We’re doing a job to entertain people.

For me, boxing isn’t about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.

We are, in the comics, the last frontier of good, wholesome family humor and entertainment.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you’re entertaining people.

Watching two men jib and jab for 12 rounds is not entertaining for me. I want action, knockouts, big shots, and people getting up off the canvas. That’s my ideal fight.
