If I get a guy that can take my shots and withstand my arsenal for the first round or two, I think you're going to see the best of me coming forward.

My dad was a professional basketball player, and my mom was a hell of a tennis player.

To have the athletes weigh in on a stage, televised, it makes no sense. Holding us at weight to run us through medicals and a staging process, it lengthens the time we're depleting ourselves.

My goal is to keep going out there and defending my belt and stacking up pay cheques to set myself up for the future.

The fact that rich people get free stuff and poor people have to pay, it's backwards.

The only way I'd have gone was if it would better my career, I would not have gone just for the money. The point was to go to a club that could win trophies.

I think Don King has always been an idiot in my mind. He's always been about money. I don't think he cares about anything else but himself.

As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think 'actor' and see some easy money.
