Do your best, one shot at a time, and then move on.

Rhythm is everything in boxing. Every move you make starts with your heart, and that's in rhythm or you're in trouble.

The man who has no imagination has no wings.

You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.

The hardest skill to acquire in this sport is the one where you compete all out, give it all you have, and you are still getting beat no matter what you do. When you have the killer instinct to fight through that, it is very special.

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
