“Every time I stepped into the ring, somebody wanted to kill me.” — Roberto Duran Quote

Every time I stepped into the ring, somebody wanted to kill me.

De La Hoya doesn't know about salsa. He should keep on singing mariachis and leave the salsa to me. I'm good at salsa.

I laugh when Floyd Mayweather says that if he went back in time he would beat us all. I'll tell you this: if he was in the same era as Hagler and Hearns and Leonard and me, I don't think he would be such a big name. There is too much talk.

I won't be upset if I don't win a ring, because I gave it my all.

I'm not going to get into the ring with Tolstoy.

If I have to leave, I don't want to leave without another ring.

I feel that my talent is in the ring.

A shiny ring isn't romantic to me. I think thought and love into what you do for the person you're in love with - that's romance.
