People always say, "I don't mean to do this . . . ," and then they do it! If you don't mean to touch on something, then don't touch on it. That's how I feel.
But it's me taking a stand for something that means something. And it's for the fighters who are up and coming. It's sort of the same stance Martin Luther King and Malcolm X made, so we could have freedoms, so everybody could tell the world that we're equal. The only thing I'm saying is that we are equal. So if you're not on nothing and I'm not on nothing, then let's go take the test. That's all I'm saying.
Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.
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.'
