I like to see the smiles on people's faces when I show them I can do the impossible.
It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5 am when you've been sleeping in silk pajamas
People still look at me as the champion and that's very important to me.
You know, I think I had a great career; there's not much I think I'd do different other than get a title shot much earlier. I didn't get one till 49 or 50 fights into my career.
Don't doubt me, because that's when I get stronger.
There are a lot of things and in order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.
