Boxing Is Not For Killing Each Other.

Killing Each Other

I Can't Walk Down The Streets. It's Very Difficult. I Can't Go To The Mall. I Have To Go To Hotels Just To Have A Meal. Everybody Wants To Say Hi And Say Thank You And Congratulate Me, So It's Very Difficult.

Saying Thank You

Even In My Prime, I Need God In My Life Because Without God, We're Nothing.

Mosley Is Bigger Than Me. He's Fast And His Hand Speed Is Still There. He's Faster Than Most Of My Opponents. He's Also Preparing Hard And He's Also Good, So We Never Underestimate Our Opponent.

I Live My Life Like Everyday Is My Last.

A Fighter's Dream Is To Win A World Title And Gain Financial Stability. But What Is Happening To Me Now Is The Most Humbling Experience Of My Life.

I Have Great Pride For All Of The Filipinos Living Throughout The World And It Is These People That I Fight For Each And Every Time I Step Into The Ring.

Theres 3 Things You Need To Remember In Boxing, Work Hard, Work Harder, And Work Hardest

I Would Only Spend A Week Or Two In The Philippines, Most Probably The Week During My Birthday Because I Am Planning To Give Away Christmas Gifts To The Poor People Of General Santos Just Like What I Did Last Year.

The Biggest Fight In My Life Is Not In Boxing. The Biggest Fight In My Life Is How To End Poverty In My Country.

Only In Death Will I Relinquish My Belts.

I Have A Relative Who Is Also Gay. We Can't Help It If They Were Born That Way.

No Notes. You Speak From Deep In Your Heart. It's Easy.

My Family Moved To The Philippines When I Was 14. While Living There, I Learned That My Mom Grew Up Very Poor. Seeing That Kind Of Abject Poverty Firsthand During My Travels Deeply Shaped My Life.

I Want To Be The Best Fighter. I Would Like To Fight In The Biggest Fights.

I Always Ask Myself, What Do I Need To Prove? I Won The Fight.

I Know Everyone In The Philippines Is Happy.

As For Me, I Always Train For 12 Rounds Just In Case. I Don’t Train For Three, Four, One, Or 10 Rounds - I Have To Train For 12 Because You Never Know What Will Happen That Night.

If You Don't Have God In Your Life, You Are Nothing.

I Know What Poverty Is.

It's Important For Me To Win The Fight, But It's Not The Most Important Thing. The Most Important Thing Is To Show People Who Spend Their Hard-earned Money That They Can Be Entertained By The Way I Fight.

O The Gay Community I Apologize If I Did Something, But All I Said Was I Was Against Same-sex Marriage. But I Am Not Condemning You. My Favorite Expression Is, 'love One Another…as You Love Yourself, Love Thy Neighbor.'

I'm Just Appreciative Of Everything That Has Happened In My Life. I'm Overwhelmed, Sometimes, By This. When I See Where I Grew Up And The Places I've Been, It Puts A Smile On My Face Because Of All The People There I Can Help. I Give Them Food; I Give Them Money; I Try To Provide Them With A Good Lifestyle, And Do The Best I Can Because That's Where I Came From. Those Are My People.

I Was In Tailoring Business, I Sold Flowers On The Street, I Worked Construction And Many Odd Jobs.

I'm Just A Regular Person Who Believes Life Is Simple, And I Like A Simple Life.

My #1 Driving Force Is My Lord And Savior Jesus Christ. Also My Family, My Wife And Children.

I Still Think About The Time When I Was Fighting For My First Real Big Fight Against [marco Antonio] Barrera Back In 2002. I Know He Can Come In Thinking That He Has Nothing To Lose, And That's Why I Have To Be Aware Of That.always Be Prepared.

Only God Knows That. He Is The Only One Who Knows. He Is Only One Who Will Know. And He Is The Only One Who Does Know.

The Most Important Thing ... Is The Name Of The Lord. The Name Of The Lord Will Be Glorified. I Want To Let The People Know That There Is A God Who Can Raise People From Nothing Into Something. And That's Me. I Came From Nothing Into Something.

God Only Expects Man And Woman To Be Together And To Be Legally Married, Only If They So Are In Love With Each Other.
