“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.”

It’s contagious to do great. But once that one bad apple falls, everybody else will fall, and that’s how it is.

When they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that – it was a heavenly sound to me.

My dream was to play for Alabama – football, basketball.

This is no game. You get up in there, and you take some punches. You risk your life, and then let me see you talk then. That’s why I don’t respect people who criticize fighters.

I am going to get world-wide recognition from whoever wants it, and whoever wants to challenge me.

When I am in the ring, all I think about is knocking my opponent’s head off, getting him out of there. Hurting him. Putting pain to him. I will have no mercy. I will have no pity.

You have to, as an individual, know how to tune that stage of your life that’s in the past out.

When one guy is doing good, it makes all the others want to achieve greatness.

I’m ready for Joseph Parker. The question is, is he ready for me?

My goal is to unify the division. Whoever’s got those belts, that’s who I want.

Every guy I touch, it’s the same result. When I land, it’s like seeing one of those preachers on TV. When I touch them, they fall out.

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.

To make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I’m the right man for the job… I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

I would love to go to England.

The British scene in boxing, not just the heavyweight division, is popping.

I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be.

Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.

Stories are as unique as the people who tell them, and the best stories are in which the ending is a surprise.

Whenever there comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

I love, You love, This love – We’re professional.

He that is jealous is not in love.

The simple truth is, the more we care about others, the more alive and engaged we’re going to feel.
