I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.
Boxing was the only career where I wouldn't have to start out at the bottom. I had a good resume.
I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
Boxing's a poor man's sport. We can't afford to play golf or tennis. It is what it is. It's kept so many kids off the street. It kept me off the street.
When I'm not in training. I'll walk around the streets at 153, but it's not solid; it's my socializing weight.
Sometimes people think that if you're always helping people up and never hit someone with a hard foul, you're automatically a good sport. I don't believe that.
The biggest challenges are in the same vein. It's about retaining all that stuff. Also, the physical stuff is not as easy as we originally thought. I play a lot of sports and I remember saying, "Oh, I'll be fine, running around or doing anything."
Instead, over the past thirty years, in the world of action and adventure sports, in situations where asses really were on the line, the bounds of the possible have been pushed further and faster than ever before in history. We've seen near-exponential growth in ultimate human performance, which is both hyperbolic paradox and considerable mystery. Somehow, a generation's worth of iconoclastic misfits have rewritten the rules of the feasible, not just raising the bar but often obliterating it altogether. And this brings up one final question: Where-if anywhere-do our actual limits lie?
We’re stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences or take the next step and eliminate fighting.
I don't like waiting in airports for my bags. Even worse, I don't like waiting in airports when my bags are lost.
Life is very good. I'm the president and Chief Executive Officer of the Wireless trade association, the CTIA.
It's still fun to come to games, and it's still fun to be in the Seattle crowd.
I don't have the fire in the belly right now. It's one of those been there, done that deals.
The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.
We felt like when we went into last year we had a pretty good chance to win the championship from the previous year with the fall we put together. We've got the same everything now, so I think we can come back and be as strong this year.
That's about the 1000th and tenth time (I've been asked about my neck). It's OK. I'm been doing a little stuff. I got some stuff from UT, weights to build you back up.
The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening.
I've been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time.
Economics is about creating win-win situations. But in sports, someone loses.
A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
Players have two things to do. Play and keep their mouths shut.
When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.
I don't think the sport is any more dangerous than it's ever been.
This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.
I decided I can't pay a person to rewind time, so I may as well get over it.
