I am seeing all the guys, like Earnie Shavers, Tex Cobb, and Larry Holmes all the time.

Like I say, boxing was on the floor, but it got back up.

I like the Klitschko boys, I think they're in a class of their own. I like Manny Pacquiao. All the super-middleweights are great.

Roberto Duran was the kind of guy who was a true fighter and you hardly see guys like that anymore.

Had I had another year, I think I would've beaten [ Harry Carpenter] - and Larry Holmes even said that himself; that if I'd had another year to get ready I'd have beaten him. Me and he are good friends today though, and that fight was a great moment for me. I lost, but then I had to move on and get on with my life.

I am a fight fan. I think boxing had its problems and kind of fell away for a while, but it's coming back strong .

All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none.
