You can be taught so much, but the sense of anticipation cannot be taught.
I've got a really good job commentating and watching great fighters fight ringside.
I believe it's going to be easier to stop Ricky Hatton than it will be to stop Lovemore N'dou.
They call me the Magic Man because I'm a classy fighter, a master of my craft, a good-looking Italian kid from Brooklyn who came through a dark and gritty life to find something magical.
When I was part of McGregor's sparring camp, I struggled to find words to compliment him; I knew he couldn't fight from the first moment we sparred. It's very hard to find nice things to say about his skills. Perhaps his best attribute is his intensity, but he has to do it cleanly.
Range control is a big part of Floyd Mayweather's arsenal.
Jose Miguel Cotto may not have the resume of his brother, but he's a good fighter.
I don't want to lose to an average champion. I want to lose to a great champion.
I am a welterweight, so do I want to fight Mayweather or Pacquiao? To be honest, it has not entered my head.
You can teach defensive wizardry, but you need the talent to go with it. You have to be born with that natural defensive radar.
Pacquiao has generated a lot of positive press for our sport, and that is something no one can complain about.
My whole life, nothing was handed to me. I had to go out in the world and get it.
The Hatton fight left a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm not looking to be an opponent and have a promoter match me with their up-and-coming star.
My mother really struggled when we were young. She was on food stamps and welfare. Looking back, I know we didn't have a lot, but I never felt I was at a loss for anything.
There was a time in Amir Khan's career when you had to fight him; you couldn't really box him. You wouldn't see Amir take beatings: if he lost, he would just get caught and stopped. It was hard to catch him clean and keep up with him in the ring because he was such a dynamic fighter.
It's always been a dream of mine to fight for the European title.
I'm proud of my Italian roots, and I've always believed that I would get the chance to fight for the belt.
I'm looking forward to a long, fruitful career now behind the mic, staying around the sport I love so much and the sport that changed my life for the better.
Guys get hurt in fights. It doesn't mean you stop a fight every time somebody gets hurt.
