Boxing is a lonely sport.

Boxing is a noble sport.

Boxing is one of the few sports that is one on one.

Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world. You've got all the fans, lots of hangers-on jumping up and shouting different words. But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

Without boxing, I can't live. I love boxing.

With me, boxing's a beautiful sport.

Boxing's a poor man's sport. We can't afford to play golf or tennis. It is what it is. It's kept so many kids off the street. It kept me off the street.

I've always found boxing to be an incredibly pure sport. The level of character of most fighters I find very high. And it's just the best workout you can get.

Boxing, in the most general terms, is a poor man's sport. All you have is your hands to make a living.

Boxing is the embodiment of who I am, but beyond that, this is a journey of the self, and my obsession to get the most from this short life.
