“I’m ready to test my skills with the best fighters.”

Every time I throw, I hate to miss. It’s like those timing games in the arcades. I win every single time. Guys watch me and they pay me to keep playing.

I just want to lean on my team to make the best decisions for me because, knowing myself, I won’t say no to anybody.

I’ve been boxing since I was 7 years old.

If I’m fighting the best, then I can inspire a younger generation. I walk into the gyms and see girls boxing. They say I’m their inspiration. I love that.

Madison Square Garden has held some of the best fights of all time. Many legendary fighters have fought there. Being able to fight there is an honor.

Promoters need you. You don’t need them. The boxer has the leverage, and a lot of boxers don’t know that.

That’s one of my idols, I really look up to Pacquiao. This guy is everything I would want to be.

There’s so many people who come to me here in L.A., promising me this and promising me that. What I’m learning is figuring out what’s real versus what’s just talk.

Canelo’s a very disciplined guy, but he’s very relaxed in the ring. He taught me that there are ways to relax so you won’t get hit with certain punches. He showed me that the more relaxed you are, the easier it is to fight your fight by staying put.

I just love challenges.

Canelo has experience and is a superstar. He’s showed me a lot as a mentor. It’s the biggest blessing that I can have.

Everything takes a vision and I have a very definitive vision of what my future will be like, in the ring and then outside of it.

I want to become a movie director and win an Academy Award. That’s what I’m trying to do.

I’m looking to expand my brand everywhere. I want to be worldwide, I want to reach the world.

My mom is the Kris Jenner of boxing.

The Velez fight wasn’t my best.

I am a big believer that everybody has unusual, and certainly untapped, potential. The more people like that we can line up with their skill set and with their abilities, the more success we get to have.

If a person has enough desire, he will acquire the talent, he will build his skills.

Doug Christie, what skill, what strenght, what power, what quickness.

A minimum required standard to obtain a massage license is quite a different matter from a voluntary certification evidencing higher-level skills.

Habits grow from obtaining knowledge, attitude and skills.

Central and western Pennsylvania has one of the best workforces in the country and this will provide job training, new skills and additional resources for those trying to find a job.

I was brought in, not in the photographic department at all, I was brought in on a thing called Special Skills. I was to do posters, pamphlets, murals, propaganda in general, you know.

People have a pathway to citizenship right now: It’s to abide by the immigration laws, and if they have a family relationship, if they have a job skill that allows them to do that, they can obtain citizenship.
