“If my son wants a boxing career, I won't stop him, but I definitely won't push him. It's bad for a kid to be pressured.”

“I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.”

“I'm a real person. I have real feelings. I have real thoughts. It's a quality people like about me. They can reach out and touch me. I wouldn't give it up for anything.”

“It would be a dream to be the face of boxing, to be No. 1.”

“I took up boxing out of sheer interest and to help my parents financially.”

“I love to exercise. I'm a big hiker, and I like boxing. I mean, I love a good burger, but I keep things in moderation.”
