I never cheated on nutrition, I always had a really good diet and I always supplemented well - that's a massive factor in any sport. Even in everyday life, if people are just going to the gym recreationally, they'll have targets in mind and if you're not supplementing correctly or concentrating on your diet, you're wasting your time.
No sport is more geared to the warrior's code of honour, pride and respect. That's why I love boxing. It's mano a mano. One against one. It's driven by fear and your need to conquer it.
There's no proof of the Earth's curvature and this fake space agency Nasa use CGI images and every one is different.
I've even fought with a broken hand, against Brian Magee.
As tired as I am, I can always go another round, and I feel the other guy can't.
I've been through the highs and lows. I know what it's like to taste defeat and it's not nice.
There's something weird about me the way even the biggest punches to the jaw don't wobble me, but if you can avoid being hit too often, so much the better.
People have been upset in the past about pay-per-view fights because they got sold a lie or an illusion that was not real.
Gennady Golovkin is a small middleweight, I'm a big super-middleweight. The fight was maybe talked about a year after I retired and it was never going to happen.
Some fighters had blinding speed and reflexes in their heyday but faded badly with age.
You manage your injuries if you're serious about fighting.
I've had a Japanese judge, a Mexican judge in the past, and they have done some ridiculous scoring.
I'll never be able to replace the feeling of standing victorious in the ring, that's never going to happen again and I'm never going to fight again.
I can say, 'right, I will stop this kid in round five.' If I am good enough to do that then fair enough. I don't gamble but my brothers and my friends, they did quite well off it.
I've been in the ring. I've fought in a title fight. I know what it is like to lose a fight. I know everything a fighter has been through.
Your fitness is your ability to recover and you can't recover when you're old.
I won four world titles, got beat twice - but avenged one of those losses - and the other loss was on points to someone who was unbeaten in Andre Ward. I had a comfortable, successful career and it wasn't through natural ability but through dedication and hard work.
Boxing's a bit like the Army, nine out of 10 people come out as pretty nice people. It taught me self-worth, to respect my elders and what the right thing was to do. As a result, I don't think I even got a single detention at school. It helped me to be good.
I say that I'm genetically gifted. In a weight-governed sport, I don't put weight on because of my Polish 'heritage, it's genetic. Even when I am not in training, I don't put on weight. When I start training, I don't need to take a lot of weight off.
I don't hype a fight to sell tickets.
