"Me? I'm loyal and honest, and I'm a good person. I call a spade a spade. Money doesn't make me; I make money. Without money, I'd be the same person."

“Anything can happen in the sport of boxing.”

“He can have heart, he can hit harder and he can be stronger, but there's no fighter smarter than me.”

“Why not? Everything you've got to own costs money. Everything you do costs money. You can't take your wife on a date for free.”

“Does he really want to step into the ring with best fighter of this era and embarrass himself? Being the coward that he is, I doubt he'll get in the ring. We'll see what his excuse will be this time... When I retire, I'll get Ricky Hatton to wash my clothes and cut my lawn and buckle my shoes.”

“I'm older and wiser. Just like fine wine, I get better with time.”

“I'm always thinking, how can I get better?”
