I'm a good friend, but I'm a hell of an enemy. As your enemy, I want your demise. When I feel that in my heart it burns till I die.
A man that is a friend to everyone is an enemy to himself.
Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.
You have to be a friend to yourself. You know, 'cause if you're not a friend to yourself, you're an enemy to yourself and if someone's a friend of everybody they are an enemy to themselves.
Anger is my biggest enemy in life.
Everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody who helps you is not your friend.
I'm not going to keep boxing. It's part of my past and now I want to live my life.
Smart too late and old too soon, ... This is just my ending.
Even then I watched him, ... I knew he was a game champion and that he wasn't going to go out like a dog. He went out fighting. Even after that last knockdown he was willing to get up.
Now I'm here. Imagine if I'd kept screwing around those six years. I'd have been in the same place I was. In jail. Or dead. One of those.
You're smart too late and old too soon. I just got caught up in that suction cup. I feel like Rip Van Winkle right now.
I don't have the guts to stay in this sport anymore.

Shoot, I was desperate. I wanted to win.
