People who make the choice to study, work hard or do whatever they endeavor is to give it the max on themselves to reach to the top level. And you have the people who get envy and jealous, yet are not willing to put that work in, and they want to get the same praise.
He listens to his trainer real good. He just doesn't listen to me. I still can't get him to do nothing.
The most important thing about being a father is being able to forgive yourself. If you don't forgive yourself, you're not going to forgive your kids, either.
I lived in a project and...didn't have a good education. But...I'd listen to the preacher, who said that God would show me the way. Everything starts from that confidence.
From what I hear is happening, young Indian boxers have started to do well on the world stage and started to gain the attention of the general audience.
My goal is to be the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.
I've had a great life following my faith and my instincts.
No. I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.
When you have a sound mind, you can do what's necessary.
Sugar leaves you stranded; I make sure I have the proper amount of protein before I work out.
Well, when I think of steroids I think of an image. You have the advantage over someone, which is a form of cheating. I guess it wouldn't be right unless it was legal for everybody. Reason it's not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously.
The big guys choose who they want to fight and they think about history: 'how many times I defended my title.' They try to break a record: 'how long I was there.' But if you look at the pedigree, who they fought, ain't nobody gonna give them credit for it because they fought a lot of people with no experience.
Well, of course a boxing match is hard because boxing isn't set for you to do good. You have to force your will upon someone, but dancing you don't have to force your will. It should be a lot easier because if I make a mistake I don't get hit.
As far as working out, I know exactly what I'm doing.
