At the end of the day I'm still a four-time world champion at four different weight classes and I'll still be in the history books.

God puts you through things - steps in life - and you get over them.

I've been through so much in this game. I've been up. I've been down. It's the way I grew.

Boxing is a lonely sport.

There's times when you're by yourself and you want your girl around or your kids around. You just need somebody around. And other times, boxing makes you feel like you want to be by yourself. You get emotional. That's why after some wins, I cry. Even in my losses, I cry. Because I know how hard I work, and I always want to be victorious.

I'm a man at the end of the day and I come from the streets, the trenches, I came from nothing, water and cornflakes.

I will never let another man disrespect me. I don't care if we sparring or fighting.

I want to be the first boxer to generate a billion dollars.

I train like I never had nothing 'cause I ain't never had nothing.
