• My dad used to tell me, 'Check the price, son.' Check the price, kids, check the price because there is a price to be paid for whatever you do in life, whether it is good or it is bad. Before you do something, ask yourself is it worth the price you have to pay?

• I don't think boxing needs to be regulated. I think boxing needs to have a complaint board. And I think the complaint board should be able to look into boxing situations - as far as if you're getting what you should be getting, whether you're being managed, not being managed, etc.

• Lo único que me gustaría ver es que se diera a los luchadores la opción de llevar un protector de cabeza pequeño, de una onza. Puede que algunos púgiles no quieran esa opción. Pero ya sabes, entrenas todo el tiempo, boxeas todo el tiempo y llevas un casco, usas guantes grandes y recibes golpes. Y observas que tu cara está mejor protegida de esa manera. Ahora lo hacen con guantes de diez onzas y sin casco. Creo que si llevaran un casco de una onza para proteger algunas de las células cerebrales de la cabeza, sería beneficioso para el boxeador.

• I train myself. I don't have trainers who want hundreds of thousands of dollars to train me. I hire who I want to put the grease on my face, to rub my neck and rub my back, to take my mouthpiece out and rinse it off and put the mouthpiece back in. And then I go about my business. And if they want to say something, they can give me little reminders. All you need are reminders. You don't need 'big-time' trainers.

• I was probably the best that ever walked this earth. And I could take a punch. I could deliver a punch. I didn't have the hardest punch in the world but my punches were sharp and they were crisp. And if you took too many of them, you would be knocked out.

• Fighters DON'T know how to jab. You take Roy Jones, for instance. He paws his jab. He throws it out, it don't land. And then he'll hit you with a left hook, hit you with a right hand. But he doesn't really know the jab. A guy needs to learn the jab, know the jab, and use the jab. And these guys don't do it today.
