To be honest with you, I normally beat guys with my C game and I don't have to pull my A or B game out.
I've been in the sport of boxing for a long time, but I haven't been able to bring my 'A-game' totally out. I've beaten fighters with my 'C-Game' and with my 'D-Game,' but I haven't been able to beat anybody with my 'A-Game.'
When God wants me to lose, then that's when I'll lose. But until then, I'm going to be at the top of my game and keep working hard anddedicating myself to the sport of boxing and to being the best entertainer that I can be.
I'm a firm believer that before you can go anywhere, you have to conquer the level that you are at, just like young kids do it today with video games, they have to finish one level to go to the next one. Conquer one level at the time, and only then you'll get where you want to go to.
I'm not in this sport to take punishment.
I'm not in this sport to say a guy can beat me.
You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.
I'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past.
There is no fighter smarter than me.
I've had boxing gloves on since before I could walk and been in gyms all of my life.
People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.
I ain't never nervous. Never nervous.
If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can't make mistakes.
I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, 'I think I should get a job.' She said, 'No, just keep boxing.'
