#Quote
1 [on Robert De Niro] Bobby's a main-event fighter. I'm not kidding. He's thirty-five, but he moves and hits like a nineteen-year-old. Anytime he wants to quit acting I could easily make him into a champion. He's that good.
2 The three toughest fighters I've ever been up against were Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Sugar Ray Robinson. I fought Sugar so many times, I'm surprised I'm not diabetic! But I did have him off the canvas once...when he stepped over my body to leave the ring.

#Trademark
1 Aggressive unrelenting fighting style
2 Staying within punching distance of His opponent in order to land blows
3 Lean but Muscular build
4 Incredible capacity for taking punches from opponents
