• Te sentirías miserable si tuvieras que ir por la vida con un felpudo humano con "Bienvenido" escrito en él. Quieres a alguien más fuerte. Quieres, por así decirlo, un sparring, alguien con quien puedas discutir alegremente con la certeza de que no se hará un ovillo para que le des una patada, sino que estará ahí para devolverte el golpe.

• I used to be so aggressive, but after a while I started learning. It's not that I know how to adapt, but I know all styles of fighting so I can change my style of fighting to whatever it needs to be. That just comes from years of training and a lot of sparring partners.

• I had to get up run in the morning for 2 hours, go to the gym and also get good opponents as sparring partners because I'm a big believer in that how you train is how you will fight at least when it came to me that's how it worked.

• The standard is the same. Don't get me wrong, the main difference is the number of sparring partners. Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn are the best coaches in the world in my opinion and in many other people's opinion but it really it comes down to the number of sparring partners. I go to my gym and I have 10 fighters fighting on the local level but when you go over there it's like 30 fighters all fighting in the UFC or other bigger shows. That's really the main thing; the numbers.

• A medida que la marea feminista que alcanzó su punto álgido hace dos décadas retrocede y vuelven los viejos juegos de avance y retirada del cortejo, "Orgullo y prejuicio" habla con nostalgia del momento. Elizabeth Bennet y Fitzwilliam Darcy son tentadores prototipos tempranos de un ideal Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy de amantes como inteligentes y apasionados sparrings. No cabe duda de que en el mundo abundan las fantasías sobre el Sr. Darcy y los de su calaña. Sin embargo, cuántos de su tipo se encuentran fuera de las páginas de una novela es otra cuestión.

• I will knock out Vernon Forrest in two rounds whether I have a cigarette or not. I know a lot of people want to see me fight more rounds. So, if HBO wants, they can pick two sparring partners for me to fight after I knock out Forrest. That way, the audience can see me fight 12 rounds.

• I got it made the rest of my life, financially and in every other way. There's nobody in the world like me. I'm getting out just in time. If I was twenty seven, I could still kick ass. I don't have to beat Holmes. Why? I raised him, he worked three years as a sparring partner for me.
