I'm a fighter, not a quitter.

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

I'm not a quitter. All my career, I went through a lot of physical adversity, injuries. It's in my nature to be a battler.

I'm just trying to be a better fighter every time I compete, so it's all about being more strategic and looking for a way to get a finish.

Too many fighters stay in the game for too long. They stay because it's awfully hard to walk away from the roar of the crowd. Really hard. You live for that and so you stay too long. And you might have a wife and kids to feed. So you keep fighting because you don't know how to do anything else.

You don't quit because you happen to be behind. You want to see how you do. And who knows? Maybe somebody will stumble.

It's like all the signs were telling me that I shouldn't be a boxer, so I quit.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning.
