“I remember being on my death bed, and I found out in the newspaper that the Barclays Center was opening and that they were going to have fights here and me not knowing if I would ever be able to box again, let alone perform here.”

“I know that the strong, black woman is the most beautiful creature in this world, so that's why I always have the utmost respect for my sisters. That's why I make sure I'm not out here disrespecting women and acting a fool.”

“It's kind of hard for boxing, which is a violent sport, to get the respect that it deserves.”

“If you play good, then you stay in the newspaper all the time.”

“Whenever I read the newspaper, I say to myself, 'At least my wife loves me.'”

“The tabloid press is notorious but I'll never understand an attitude where someone from a newspaper wants to create problems that don't exist.”
