I watched all the Saw movies. They were good. But I think Freddie Krueger or Jason might be the best.

Just because you started off one way don't mean the ending of the book has to be the way you started.

Money is great, but history is something that you can never get rid of and act like it didn't happen.

I don't know how a man can live with himself to get to the top knowing he didn't do it the right way.

My dad just wanted me to find something to do to keep me out of trouble. Boxing was the great escape.

I like to do things that are noncombat- or boxing-related. So I jump rope a lot, and then I run a lot.

I'm definitely an active champion. I'm looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.

I was born a leader, never a follower. I never felt peer pressure. If the group goes left, I go right.

I played a lot of the original Fight Night. I think the depiction of Trinidad in the game was awesome.

I learned a lot from the Holmes fight. I learned about styles and the pressure. I'm more prepared now.

If I, being a mother of two, can win a medal, so can you all. Take me as an example and don`t give up.

Ninety percent of the media picked Pavlik, and I always appreciate naysayers. That's what motivates me.

I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.

Boxing is a business and if it makes sense, other than my brother (Anthony), damn right I'll fight him.

It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary.

I have to constantly work on my reflexes and hand-eye coordination. I do a lot of puzzles. I play chess.

I played a lot of the original 'Fight Night.' I think the depiction of Trinidad in the game was awesome.

If you don't know your own value, somebody will tell you your value, and it'll be less than you're worth.

I learned a lot from being in hell. I learned discipline. I learned that I choose what to put in my body.

I don't see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.

I never fought because of my father. I started to box before he pushed me. It had nothing to do with him.

I started athletics in 1999, throwing discus and shot put. I didn't tell my family when I started boxing.

Hatred and bitterness and anger only consume the vessel that contains them. It doesn't hurt another soul.

I appreciate everything that has been done for me. After a difficult start, I've just followed my dreams.

I always not only want push the envelope in my career but I also have an itch for going against the grain.

I've had a hard life. I smell and sense fear. I didn't get that from Catholic school; I know what fear is.

My trainer Jimmy Tibbs and my promoter Frank Warren told me that I had to be patient and get the jab going.

I was six foot one inch when I started fighting, but with all the uppercuts I'm up to six foot five inches.

It don't matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle: I'm going to fight like heavyweight champions do.

I was made to be where I'm at. I just had to go through some challenges, so that I can educate others later.

Did you hear what this idiot just said!? He said it's not about the W...It's everything about the W with me!

People who know me know that if I say I'm going to do something, I'm doing it. I am hungry. I am determined.

I want to be one of the greats. I want to be the pound for pound king and I know what it takes to get there.

I quit school in the sixth grade because of pneumonia. Not because I had it, but because I couldn't spell it.

If you really look at it, I have done the 'American Dream' that people have died on boats to come here to live.

We want to give you the roses when you're dead. That's how human beings think. I try not to think like a human.

It's contagious to do great. But once that one bad apple falls, everybody else will fall, and that's how it is.

Youngsters taking up boxing will get a lot of encouragement to do something for the country, seeing my laurels.

Winning the 2012 bronze medal was magnificent, but I would love to win a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

I don't drink occasionally. I don't drink on the holidays. I don't drink alcohol, period. Not wine, not nothing.

Against Bermane Stiverne, they said he was going to be the toughest test, but I passed that with flying colours.

You're going to need a stronger stomach if you're going to be back in the kitchen seeing how the sausage is made.

When you have a dream, it's going to be a lot of "I can't" people. You need to be the driving force to say I can.

I am a fight fan. I think boxing had its problems and kind of fell away for a while, but it's coming back strong .

A man who has been an animal has infinitely more knowledge of that animal than a man who has merely dissected one.

I feel like my endurance is actually better. Especially trying to get down to 140, I was experiencing body cramps.

Father Time is whether you're an athlete or not an athlete. Father Time is always around. I think I'm just special.

I've shown, for twenty-plus years, with a legacy that will be talked about way after I'm gone, that I am different.

People are starting to see that now and I've learnt more from those 10 rounds than I have in my previous 10 fights.
