I didn't need to take any fight for the last 10 years. But I've always fought the best and I've always wanted to prove myself to the best.

The streets was basically my parents.

I really didn't care. I'd do something to somebody and walk in front of them the next day like it never happened. I had very very low value on my own life.

The controversy was that Chad Dawson thought he was in an MMA fight and not a boxing match.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from - the penitentiary.

There are so many things I've done that the world of boxing has witnessed. It's going to be difficult for the boxing people to pick one of my performances as the best.

I'd rather be an adviser. I don't wanna become a trainer because I think with the knowledge and the business sense that I've accomplished through my career and have credibility, why would I reduce myself down to being in a gym with a bunch of training which is not a bad thing to give advice, but I can do that with a suit and tie on and also be there when the cheques are written. I don't wanna be there when the cheques are handed down from 3 or 4 people's hands and then it hits mine as a trainer because 9/10 times, deductions have come out of that.
