“That’s all I want – to shock the world. The only way to do it is to do something hard.”

To beat Gervonta? That would be good.

My improvements, my fights and the competition is going to get better. I’m going to be ready for it.

I work on my technique, but when I do a video, I want people to be amazed by the speed or the power. The casual fans don’t care if your hands are up or your hands are down.

I’m a true fighter, not an Instagram fighter.

I just want better competition the more I step up.

I’ve always had girls liking me.

I’m definitely not afraid to take on any type of challenge.

Seeing guys like Canelo helps me get better because they are already champions and I want to become champion. Having role models like that helps me a lot.

My self-belief, really is what kept me going, I always believed I could be a great champion, a world champion.

I got speed and power. I got two things. And I’ve all the other aspects of boxing.

I just fight like myself. I’m like a cat – if I see the opening, I’m going to shoot for it. I think what stands out is my accuracy.

Once I beat Gervonta Davis like I’ve been calling it, that’s going to be like history repeats itself with Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali.

I want to leave my own legacy and write my own story.

I’m learning what triggers me. What to stay away from. What I do like and what I don’t like. To me, I’ve learned so much about myself that now I’m a stronger person. But I still deal with anxiety. Anxiety doesn’t go away.

There are persons who, when they cease to shock us, cease to interest us.

Was sort of intellectually shocked. Contagion is the critical phenomenon which causes the thing to fall apart.

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke risin’ against that blue sky?

Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders’ equity are in a state of shocked disbelief.

The increased flexibility of our economy, which has fostered our extraordinary resilience to shocks.

There’s a familiarity that sometimes shocks and annoys the hell out of me.

I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn’t think I had it in me ever, and I wasn’t terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties.
