I was a left hooker, and I loved hooking. I also really liked to jab and mix it up right away.
Like I say, boxing was on the floor, but it got back up.
All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none.
The bad press came because they thought I should fight more. I couldn't get the fights because if I would sign to fight one of King's guys I would be signed to him. I chose not to do that. In hindsight, that might have been a mistake.
Boxing was not the sport that I thought is was due to all the politics.
Roberto Duran was the kind of guy who was a true fighter and you hardly see guys like that anymore.
