“I have so many things that I want to do with my life. I just don’t see myself being a fighter forever. Boxing is my love and passion. It also opens up and sets up other things in my life as well.”

Everybody has their due season. And it’s all about what you do in your season.

I don’t care what you have done before or what you are capable of: if you come up against a guy like me, you are in trouble.

This is the hardest part for me. Just the waiting – the waiting to fight. The work has all been done, and you just have to wait.

People have to realize that God has blessed me with power. He hasn’t got me this far for no reason. I feel like God has a plan for me in this sport. That’s how I have came up this fast.

It don’t matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle: I’m going to fight like heavyweight champions do.

I don’t know how a man can live with himself to get to the top knowing he didn’t do it the right way.

There’s no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I’m the most athletic heavyweight in the division.

Some guys may play around and say a couple of things, but if I say it, I mean it. I may laugh, it may be funny, but if I say I’m going to get you, I’m going to get you.

I’m not losing no time soon, or ever, till I retire.

My right hand is a monster.

I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories.

Having patience is one of the hardest things about being human. We want to do it now, and we don’t want to wait. Sometimes we miss out on our blessing when we rush things and do it on our own time.

I don’t see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.

Street fight, you just ground and pound ’em. Boxing is totally different.

My daughter will find some of the sweetest words to tell you that can make a grown man cry. She still gives me the same inspiration. She still motivates me.

Whether somebody think badly of me, whether somebody don’t feel that I should be doing this or I should be doing that way, I don’t really care. Whether they think that my fatigue is being laid, legs are skinny, I don’t care.

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

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

Anybody going into boxing already has brain damage.

People are hurt in love affairs and never recover, more than a boxing match.

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you’ve got a dangerous man on your hands.

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 am a winner each and every time I go into the ring.

I’ve got an outspoken personality, which gets people thinking, and my style of fighting is aggressive. Everything’s on the line all the time. In my fights, there’s drama.
