“At the end of the day, the great ones - well, they rise, and that's what I want to do.”

“Going through a long legal battle is not what you sign up for as a fighter.”

“Sometimes the biggest statements you can make are by living something out.”

“I just want my career to be ran a certain way. When you get the sense it's not, that your voice is not being heard, then, unfortunately, you have to do certain things to make a stand to fight what you believe in, even if you do have to sacrifice time.”

“Manny Pacquiao has a whole country behind him. His journey and his rise, from a career standpoint, he was fortunate to have a lot of great opponents and rivalries for years. People forget about Barrera and Morales and those guys. That's how he built his legacy. Plus he had a country behind him.”

“You're going to face adversity. It's not if - it's when.”

“That's why I train the way I train. I don't like to lose.”

“Anyone can be a Son Of God if they wish to be and have the faith. I need to articulate this so everyone understands.”

“My legacy is almost like a personal challenge to go as far as I can go.”

“I'm hungry. Always have been, my whole career.”

“I'm not going to throw chairs; I'm not going to cuss. I'm not going to do that kind of stuff, because you don't have to do that. You don't have to act like that, and you don't have to live like that in order to be successful.”

“It's not just fleet of foot or speed. It's about who gets caught and gets knocked out.”

“When people ask me, 'What do you do for fun?' - it's my family. That's it.”

“This is called prizefighting for a reason.”

“You don't get points for leaving the chin open.”

“I'm a big person when it comes to doing what you believe in.”

“Chasing greatness - it's what I'm about.”

“You have to change on the fly. You have to adapt. It's what I do. It's what wins for me.”

“I typically do the opposite of what people think I am going to do.”

“I don't owe any explanations for anybody I'm fighting.”
