I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.

I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.

I used to get into a lot of fights.

You know, my parents, they raised me to be a fighter.

I wasn't a big guy. People thought the big guys would eat me up. But it was the other way around. I loved to fight bigger guys.

I've always been a fighter - it's always been a part of my personality.

When I was a kid, I had to fight for everything.

I know I'm a good fighter, probably a great fighter. I've fought the best in the world since I was a kid, and I've been fortunate to come out on top.

I started boxing when I was eight. I enjoyed when I could hit someone and they couldn't hit me back. It was like a game for me. The feeling of knocking someone out. My first knockout victory was when I was ten. He went down and his nose started to bleed, so they stopped it.
