We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting.

When you're at the bottom, everybody is taking shots at you. It's up to you to stay with it and fight through it.

When I say I am going to win a world title, I mean it; when I say I'll fight the best, I mean it; I say I'll fight Joe Calzaghe because I wanted to. When he vacated, I lost sleep over that.
