See, I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.

Boxing gave me the opportunities to grow into the person that I am today.

Not many people do at the age of 21 or younger even, know how to act nor could be concerned with anything other than fighting, women and money.

If you can believe this, I didn't fight for my first world title fight till I had 58 fights, so I really appreciated what I was fighting for and for whom as well.

Yes, across the board, these gentlemen understand they have the power to make a difference and even educate people to injustices that are occurring in their worlds.

When I was in top shape I'd go to the ring and show my conditioning.

It's a lot about the individual and it's really up to you, how much you dedicate to the fight and how hard you are working and that's where the outcome will come.
