Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.
It's just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Anyone will succeed in whatever field of endeavor in life by acquiring the same virtues and character that boxing world champions do - dedication, perseverance, courage, extreme self-discipline and prayers
Theres 3 things you need to remember in boxing, work hard, work harder, and work hardest
If you practice hard, you can win every battle.
Even in my prime, I need God in my life because without God, we're nothing.
My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.
All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.
Boxing is not for killing each other.
I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.
I live my life like everyday is my last.
I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.
I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.
I did my best. I guess my best wasn't good enough.
Faith is my motivation to win.
Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God. Thats why you are called a Christian. If you remove Christ, theres only ian and that means I am nothing.
Boxing is not about your feelings. It's about performance.
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.
I don't have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.
Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
I'm not aiming for a knockout. I focus on doing my best. If the knockout comes, fine. If not, that's okay.
Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.
My heart wants to read the Bible, wants to obey God. When you have Jesus in your life, when you have God in your life, like the thing in this world is not important to your heart. The more important is God in your heart. That's how God changed my life.
In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train - I do about three hours in the gym...
I never broke up with my girlfriends, they broke up with me.
