“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.”

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.

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.

You know, everybody has a slogan, and once you beat people over the head with it so much, then that’s what you’ll eventually be called once you retire from the sport or whatever.

People gonna talk whether you doing good or bad.

I’m no good at goodbyes.

The best stories don’t come from “good vs. bad” but “good vs. good.

Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.

It’s all about attitude and feeling good about yourself and not looking like everybody on TV. You do not have to be small; you can have some junk in your trunk.

We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.

There is no possible source of evil except good.

This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.
