"I'd rather be smart, than try to make every boxing pundit happy.
They do not have to get in the Ring with guys that want to rip
your head off. Boxing is a rough business."

"I'm content with myself, and have not one single regret about
not fighting this one or that one."

"Look at Muhammad Ali. Sure he was tough, but look at him now. Yes,
I'm sure he made everyone happy."
