“I want Gervonta. That’s my Lomachenko fight – the fight that people don’t think I can win.”

The more I get better, the opposition has to get better.

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.

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

Mother Teresas detractors have accused her of overemphasizing Calcuttans destitution and of coercing conversion from the defenseless.

To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.

Thus far the chief purpose of our military establishment has been to win wars. From now on its chief purpose must be to avert them. It can have almost no other useful purpose.

We want and expect to win the silver or gold. A bronze would be a step back. In fact, we think it would be a put-down if we don’t win the silver or gold.

Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life’s way of preparing you for success.

I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.

To win in Vietnam, we will have to exterminate a nation.
