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

By the time you're 30 years old, you can be on a nowhere street, if you're not careful.

If you look at my career, towards the end you will see I was fighting like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one.

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.

All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none. So when the fighter is through, he is through. While he was fighting his management was very excited for him, but now that he is done, that management team is moving on.

Boxing was not the sport that I thought is was due to all the politics.
