A lot of heavyweights, with the exception of a few Eastern Europe fighters, they really look like being a heavyweight is just like, who can eat the most Pizza Hut and McDonalds.

The word 'potential' used to hang over me like a cloud.

I had a million-dollar arm, but I wasn't thinking enough about how to be a pitcher.

I've refined my mechanics, refined my pitches. I've gotten more confidence, and I've gotten more determination. I've got a better idea what I'm doing out there.

When I'm healthy, I can still pitch. I know I can still pitch at that level and get the results that I want.

Maybe I've lost a little, but I think everyone does over time. People have been writing that I'm getting old every year, and eventually they're going to be right. There's nobody in this game that's doing the same things they once did in the peak years of their career.

We're at the crossroads, ... where we need to win to stay alive.
