I been making history for Omaha, Nebraska, since I started boxing professional, and it just keeps going and going and going.

I don't want to keep talking about my upbringing because people always resort to the past and what happened when I was younger.

I feel like me fighting Pacquiao and beating him would boost my career higher than its ever gonna go.

I'm not worried about what the critics say, or how they feel I should go with my career.

You don't have time to think about things that aren't as important as football and the points that are at stake in the games that we have to win and do well in.

I think having a vision can make someone an influential man. I'm not talking about acting or anything like that, I'm talking about people I admire, whether it's a writer or a musician or a sports figure or a politician, whatever.

I don't wish that I was playing football. I love baseball, and the way I play is like it's my last day ever playing it. I do like football, but you've got to respect that it's not like baseball.

Brazilians are very creative, not only in football but in life as well.
