"The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside."

"Boxing isn't just about brute strength; it's about skill and outwitting your opponent."
"Sometimes success needs interruption to regain focus and shake off complacency."
"How can you trust a man who can talk for 5 minutes and you cant understand a sentence of it!"
"I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don't see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win."
"Action is what separates the do-ers from the dreamers."
