Boxer

A lot of boxers try to make it entertaining by fighting with their mouth.

I'm just a fighter that comes to fight with a big heart. I come to give the fans what they want.

I've never picked any of my opponents - from Amir Khan to Lucas Matthysse to Keith Thurman to Lamont Peterson.

I know what I can do, I know who I am. I just stay in my own lane.

It's amazing to be a Puerto Rican fighter; we have a great history of fighters.

My whole career has been based on pressure. When I don't have it, it feels weird sometimes.

I'd go around Philadelphia and everybody still loved me. Until the Eagles won, I was the only champ they had.

When I was a little kid I was embarrassed to tell people I had six toes, and I still do have six toes.

Somebody might try to steal your backpack, somebody might throw bread at you in the lunchroom. I was the kind of kid that if you did that, I wanted to fight.

I love big fights, the atmosphere, love the people who don't want me to win. It brings out the dog in me.

A lot of people don't have people to tell them, 'You're the best, and nobody can beat you.' You gotta have a lot of confidence to tell your fighter that. And you have to make a fighter believe he's the best to be the best.

I've been under a lot of pressure in my career - fights I was the underdog or counted out in.

I'll fight anyone, anytime, anywhere.

I feel like I'm the Tim Duncan of boxing.

At the end of the day, we fight for the legacy, but you don't want to be just a fighter with legacy with no money.

I don't think it's fair that you can say I'm not a Puerto Rican fighter because I wasn't born in Puerto Rico, when my blood is Puerto Rican.

A win is a win.

You can't hit what you can't see.

I love it here in Puerto Rico. I love the weather and the beautiful people. Everything about the culture is like where I grew up in Philadelphia.

I don't think about the money when I'm training.
