I fought a boxer who everybody said I couldn't beat - Sugar Ray Leonard. They said he was faster than me. That he was the best of the best. And I beat him.

You couldn't find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard.

The life of a boxer is about fighting for world titles.

If I was a boxer, I would bounce those things like Sugar Ray Leonard!

It's like Jake LaMotta versus Sugar Ray Robinson or Ali versus Frazier. To be the best, you've got to beat the best on a regular basis, and we've faced those guys in a lot of big games. It brings out the best in both of us.

I laugh when Floyd Mayweather says that if he went back in time he would beat us all. I'll tell you this: if he was in the same era as Hagler and Hearns and Leonard and me, I don't think he would be such a big name. There is too much talk.
