To contemplate war is to think about the most horrible of human experiences.

To me, the Holocaust stands alone as the most horrible human event in modern civilization.

Mentally, it has been a struggle. The business side of this boxing is horrible and I think it has taken my best years of boxing. If I would have been very active these past three years, with two to three fights at least a year, you would have seen some really good fights, really special skills. But I still try to present them in the ring to the best of my ability.

This war is not necessary. We are truly sleepwalking through history.

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.

War does horrible things to human beings, to societies. It brings out the best, but most often the worst, in our human nature.
