Andre Ward, he's one of my favorite fighters.
— Terence Crawford
I completely put all my time and effort into my kids and once I stepped foot in the ring, that's who I fight for. And that's who I work extra hard for when I'm tired, to feed my family and to make sure that they are going to be alright after boxing.
When I got shot, it changed my life tremendously, and put me on the right path. And that's when everything started happening there for me with boxing and my family and just everything. My life just took a big turn and started going uphill.
As I got older I learned how to control my temper a little more. Boxing helped me a lot and most definitely when I had my first child it helped me tremendously.
I been making history for Omaha, Nebraska, since I started boxing professional, and it just keeps going and going and going.
I want the big fights.
I'm so Omaha that I wear 'OMAHA' on my trunks.
Boxing is a dangerous, cruel sport. I love the sport, but I don't want to see my kids in the ring, potentially being hurt, with me not being able to do nothing to help them.
When you get your name out there in Las Vegas and New York, that boosts your brand even more.
When you fight a shorter fighter, you attack with uppercuts.
Anyone who has seen my fights knows I'm going to put on an exciting performance and give you your money's worth.
I don't worry about none of that stuff. All I care about is fighting. I really don't care about the pound-for-pound list. I just care about winning.
I showed that I can keep my mind focused.
Who's on my radar? I don't have a radar. I always look at myself as a top athlete. They come after me. I don't go after them because I'm where they want to be.
I don't take anything for granted.
I feel like I'm a great fighter and have been proving it over and over again, running through all types of fighters, and I've passed every test with flying colors.
A lot of people try to take away the things I have done and try to give other people credit for the things they have done and won't give me the same amount of credit in the ring for doing the same things or more.
I feel like me fighting Pacquiao and beating him would boost my career higher than its ever gonna go.
I learned patience. I'm not a real patient guy, but with me trusting in my coach, my managers and my team, I just trust the process and just continue to stay patient and just follow suit.
When I do nice things for people it just feels so natural. I have a big heart.
I was never the person to try and be the centre of attention or to talk a lot. I was always the person who, if you say something, I'd just punch you in your face. For real.
I need that 147-pound belt.
People will be the judge. They can rate the fights when I win.
I'm not worried about what the critics say, or how they feel I should go with my career.
I don't want my kids to box - no way.
My name itself is huge in Omaha. That's not a target I need to focus on because we know we can sell out.
I told Gamboa he picked the wrong fighter and the wrong city, and I was right. I never felt any danger in the fight.
Each training camp I take a dog with me, when I'm running I take the dog with me. It gives me that extra inspiration and push.
Mayweather's got a lot of fans.
I showed that I could be a crowd-pleaser.
I thank God for blessing me with the tools that he blessed me with to be where I am.
I'm just ready to go out there and prove to everybody that I'm not as small as everybody says I am.
I have nothing bad to say about Lomachenko. He's going to do well in the sport.
I want the biggest fights possible. If guys don't want to fight me, then I can't get them. But it's not on me.
The kids are our future.
Man. I've been through a lot as a kid. But at the same time that upbringing just made me stronger and made me more determined to make it out of where I made it out from and just fight extra hard to not go back.
My mum has a lot of pain in her heart to where love is pain for her. But I teach my kids love is beautiful.
When you start boxing when you're 7 years old, that's your dream, to become world champion, and after that you want to become something bigger than world champion.
I'll fight anybody. I've been saying that for I don't know how long.
No question Pacquiao is someone I would like to fight. But if it's not in front of me, then I am really not worried about it.
Whenever my kids have a tournament, or something going on, I make it a point to make sure I'm there for them every step of the way. That's real important to me.
A lot of people were wondering how I'd perform against a big, tall, rugged fighter like Jeff Horn. I think I handled it with an A-plus.
I believe I'm a pretty good fighter and have accomplished more than Lomachenko.
No matter what the circumstances are, we the fighters need to speak up and make it be known we want to fight each other. We go to our promoters and managers and tell them to get it done because at the end of the day, we're the ones fighting, the ones making them the money.
I don't even want to fight Pacquiao now because Pacquiao fought Jessie Vargas, Chris Algieri, Jeff Horn... They were talking that Terence Crawford wasn't a worthy enough name for Pacquiao. Why are those guys worthy when a fight with me and him would've been bigger than any of those?
I showed that I can not get frustrated, that I could come from behind, that I can trade, if need-be.
When everybody asked me when they were going to see more out of Terence Crawford, I always told them, 'Just put me in there with somebody.'
I train really hard for each and every fight. I never take anyone lightly.
I was undisputed. I never got my titles took. I vacated them.
I have cleared the eyeball test and still haven't gotten my just due. That drives me to become more and more successful because of the lack of everything they have been giving me.
