I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am.

The man who has no imagination has no wings.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.
