I'm never out there looking for the KO. If it's there, I'll take it.

I like to wear cowboy gear once in a while. Whenever the occasion comes. In the ring, we used to wear a poncho and the hat.

I trust my brother and my dad. They know my capabilities and my skills. If they tell me to do something, they know best.

Errol Spence, I really want that fight because everyone says it's too much, too risky. That's exactly why I want to do it. That's a guy who could put me on top as far as best fighter in the world.

I know what I'm capable of. My dad, my brother, know what I'm capable of. They've seen me in the ring sparring. They know me better than anyone else.

I want to be great. I want to prove to everybody that I am great.

It came like a natural thing for me, and I liked it. That's how my amateur career started. But again, no interest in a future in boxing. I just thought it was like a little pastime, something to do.

My dad had a third-grade education in Mexico. Third grade. My mom had a fifth-grade education. They were raised in a poor home... They got married and they had their family, but there's hardly any future.

I want to add to my legacy because, in the end, that's going to be the most valuable for my career.

If I did a multiple-fight deal, I could probably get more money but it's not always about the money.

I'm fighting champion after champion. Those are the fights that will excite me the most and motivate me the most.

I was fighting at 125 pounds when I was 15 years old... then became a champion at 126 pounds at 25 years old.

I would love to fight anybody at the welterweight limit with a belt.

One loss is not the end of my career.

I can do a lot of things that other fighters can't.

Growing up in Oxnard you're a Cowboys fan, bro. I remember when I was like six, seven years old my cousin gave me a sweatshirt that said 'Cowboys' on it and ever since then I said I'm going to support the Cowboys.

I never dreamt to be headlining a pay-per-view card. That was never a goal.

I never had a dream to be a boxer.

A lot of fighters are counted out after a loss, and it's really what you do afterward that offers an explanation to your career.

I want people to look back at my career and say, 'That guy never backed down from anyone.'

Every fighter has a different agenda. Every promoter has a different agenda for their fighter. Every manager has a different agenda. So things change all the time.

At one time, when I was first starting, when I was first champion, I wanted to be undisputed champion so I could hold all the belts and no one else could say they were champion. Then you realize the boxing business, the politics, get involved and it's not very likely you can accomplish all that.

I will never forget seeing my parents coming home from the strawberry fields, looking through their bags to see if they had any leftover Doritos bags he'd buy.

My parents' story is a great example of the American dream. Their struggles, their hard work for a better family... it inspires - that no matter how bad it might seem, you can always move past that and better yourself.
