If anyone has followed my career, they know that there's been a lot of obstacles and a lot of ups and down through my career. But day in and day out, and in the square circle, I went out there and always did my best.

I'm not scared of any opponent. I fight who I want to fight.

When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I'm just glad that I'm relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.

If I'm scared and I'm a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

Health is more important than anything.

I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.

Every day as a kid, I went to the boxing gym. I knew boxing before I knew anything else. And I was once told if you show your child how to do something and you constantly push them, then eventually they'll become masters. They'll become a master of their craft. So that's probably what happened with me and the sport of boxing.
