I want to be remembered as a great athlete. As a boxing champion.

I’ve seen George Foreman shadow boxing, and the shadow won.

Like a boxer on a treadmill, I hit the ground running. It was my first time being in love, and if enthusiasm were a sport, I’d have been sponsored by Nike. Or Adidas, whichever offered...

We didn’t do a good job boxing out the first half.

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I’m in a world of my own.

I trained for months to be a boxer. Not Mike Tyson style, but more like Fed Ex. I’m a lover, not a fighter. Well, I’m not really a lover, but I am slightly more romantic...

My arms are too short to box with God.

Shelly Finkle is their manager – the best manager in all of boxing – Shelly will make the decision when they are ready, … He will let me know, then Russ and I will work...

We all fight for money, some for power, but most of all for love. But me, I fight to become a champion.

I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you’ve got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are...

If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, then they can sure make something out of you.

There’s a school of thought that as goes the heavyweight division, so goes boxing. To be honest, we haven’t had a strong heavyweight attraction for a while. The sport is a lot healthier economically when...

No matter what anyone says, no matter the excuse or explanation, whatever a person does in the end is what he intended to do all along.

He felt the guilt of inaction, of simply waiting while his life went to waste. No one was worth the gift of his life, no one could possibly be worth that. It belonged to him...

Both were equally strenuous. I might feel a little sillier swinging the sword, but it’s just as hard as boxing. The difference is when you make a mistake in the boxing you just get tapped...

It’s probably a game they’d want back. Coming in [Boxing Day] morning, it’s not ideal. For sure we jumped on them. There must’ve been two or three times where we outworked them and the puck...

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I ain’t never had me a single round in a professional, boxin’ ring. I’m whatcha call a street fighter, a knuckle brawler. Knives, beer bottles, chairs, chains, rocks, sticks, tire irons, and even teeth. Ya...

Every day in practice, we work on rebounding and boxing out. That’s what we live by. The guys are good about getting shots from point-blank range, and we got a couple of key rebounds there...
