“I push myself to the limit.”

A true champion will fight through anything.

If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can’t make mistakes.

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

I ain’t never nervous. Never nervous.

God only made one thing in this world that’s perfect – and that’s my boxing record.

I would lie in bed, and I was nine years old, and say to myself: ‘I want to be the richest man in the world.’ I’ve come a long way from there.

I’ve never had a job. I’ve never needed to.

Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder.

I just want to be the best. I haven’t been in an all-out war. That doesn’t mean I’m not the best.

Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.

I come from a very rough background, and I’m saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

I don’t have to fight if I don’t want to.

You can never overlook a guy.

Things happen for a reason, and the only thing you can do is at night time get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for anything that you did that you didn’t feel was right.

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 was able to retire from the sport with all my faculties and not let the sport retire me.

there’s no straight line between effort and reward.

The real world has its limits; the imaginary world is infinite. Unable to enlarge the one, let us restrict the other, for it is from the difference between the two alone that are born all the pains which make us truly unhappy.

The human race built most nobly when limitations were greatest.

Devotion – a state of mind in which it refuses to occupy itself any longer with the limited and particular.

The very fact that something is determined as a limitation implies that the limitation is already transcended.

To be pleased with one’s limits is a wretched state.

Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What’s the line? I don’t have a line.

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.
