I have a beautiful story with my original trainer from the age of 7 to the age of 20 when he passed away. Ben Getty believed in me before anybody believed in me. That I'd be champion of the world, that I'd be a pay per view fighter, an exciting fighter.

Keith Thurman

People always say, 'I want to be the best fighter in the world.' That's why I respect Conor. He said he wants to be the best fighter in the world, and he's trying to prove it.

Max Holloway

Canelo Alvarez is a very good fighter. I believe he's the best 160 fighter in the world. I don't think there's a fighter at 160 who can beat him.

Callum Smith

I know I'm a good fighter, probably a great fighter. I've fought the best in the world since I was a kid, and I've been fortunate to come out on top.

Andre Ward

One thing I see in a lot of coaches is they try to live through the fighter. You can't live through the fighter. You gotta allow the fighter to be the fighter, and do what he do, and you just try to guide him. Why should I have to live through a fighter, when I went from eating out of a trashcan to being eight-time world champion? I stood in the limelight and did what I had to do as a fighter. I've been where that fighter is trying to go.

Ann Wolfe

It's a job to me, basically. I'm not trying to be the best fighter in the world or nothing like that. I don't come in trying to think I am the best fighter. I don't care about none of that. It's just a job to me.

Derrick Lewis

In sport, you only see the fighter, but it's teamwork. Without a good team, you will never be the best. In boxing, you have to work with the best coach, the best lawyer, the best manager, the best doctor. Exactly the same principle applies in politics.

Vitali Klitschko

Style-wise, I'm not ideal to fight, but I'm not taking anything away from 'Canelo' Alvarez, he's a special fighter and he's one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world for a reason.

Callum Smith

When you’re the best fighter in the world today, they don’t call you a great fighter. They call you Chael Sonnen.

Chael Sonnen

Mike Tyson is a good boxer, but he is not the best fighter. I am the best fighter.

Royce Gracie

There are rules that say 'If a fighter gets old, when a fighter slows down, when a fighter stops looking the same, then he can never come back.' I don't like that.

Chael Sonnen

If I was really trying to be the best fighter in the world, I would be in the best shape and taking it more serious but I'm not.

Derrick Lewis

I've been the best fighter in the world at kickboxing - they can't take that away from me - but when I started in MMA, I realized how great this sport is. It's the ultimate combat sport, and that's why I want to be the world's best at it.

Mark Hunt

The thing is I always believed in myself. I always believed that I was going to be the best in the world.

Robbie Lawler

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.
