“If I’m scared and I’m a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?”

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.

Cowards die many times before their actual deaths.

Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.

We said nobody would shoot a Panther but a pig, because Panthers don’t pose a threat to anybody but pigs.

That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.

We said nobody would shoot a Panther but a pig, because Panthers don’t pose a threat to anybody but pigs.

A coward dies a thousand times, a soldier dies but once.

I’d rather die like a man, than live like a coward.
