Inactivity Is The Biggest Sin In Boxing.

I've Never Believed In Tying Myself Up In A Long-range Contract, And I've Been Very Outspoken On That Subject.

I Learned That I Had Character Defects, That I Was Allergic To Alcohol And Drugs, And That I Had An Obsession With All The Bad Stuff. But Thank God That I Woke And That I Had Good People Around Me To Support Me. There's Not Much More I Can Say About It. You Have To Want To Be A Better Person.

I'm So Opposite Of My Profession. No One - Particularly My Mother And Father - Ever Thought I Was Going To Be A Boxer Because I Always Felt That Football And Baseball Were Too Dangerous. I Was Just Such A Quiet Kid.

I Learned How To Sumon, From Somewhere Deep Within, The Extra Will I Didn't Know I Possessed. Knowing It Was There, And Could Be Tapped Again, Gave Me The Boost Of Confidence I Would Rely On For Years To Come.

It Is Wonderful. It Truly Is. It Is The Only Thing That Is Real! It's You Against Me, It's Challenging Another Guy's Manhood. With Gloves. Words Cannot Describe That Feeling Of Being A Man, Of Being A Gladiator, Of Being A Warrior. It's Irreplaceable.
