At the same time, I should have been more responsible to my career and the game that has given me so much, boxing. It was a tough lessoned learned. They gave me 1 1/2 months to get prepared for the fight coming off hot dogs, Cokes and a lot of pasta. It was a tough transition.

I think Roy now understands that his legacy is on the line. He wants redemption, and the only way he can get that is by beating me.

But I plan to show once again that he's not better than me.
