The thing about boxers is that there's respect there. You beat me, and I may not like it, but you know what, deep down inside, I respect you. And that's the code of honor.
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.
