Joe Frazier was the epitome of a champion. I mean, here is a guy who was total old school, blue collar, who would fight anybody. You know, he didn't tell you he was the best fighter pound for pound.
I remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail.
Boxing is a sport, but it's also entertainment. I wanted to transcend the sport and be considered just not as a fighter, or a champion, but someone very special.
When the trainer talks to the fighter, there's a connection. You don't always have to say much.
Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.
They say that I'm stubborn, and my wife says that, too, but it's paid off so far.
