anybody anymore beats bigger far fear fight finesse five nobody taking time timid willing
Nobody beats me twice. Five years ago, I was more of a finesse fighter. I was willing to fight anybody, but at the same time I was timid of the bigger guys. I do not fear anybody anymore as far as taking their shot.
ask call fight kids knew knows son sparring worked
It just blossomed from there, ... He worked with my son with basketball. I ask about his kids and his wife, and he knows about my kids and my wife, so we call each other periodically. We are just friends. It is cool. But we knew in the heavyweight division, even after sparring with each other, we knew we are going to have to fight each other eventually.
biggest chance fell fight fought james john mouth please running
Oh, please James is running scared. James has got the biggest mouth in boxing, but he does not have any heart. He had a chance to fight me when he fought John Ruiz. We thought we were going to make something then. Then it fell apart.

I was willing to fight anybody but, at the same time, I was timid of the bigger guys.

If his urine sample doesn't come back dirty, yeah, he's a champion. But it did, ... You can't cheat and get caught. Now we will see how it looks when he fights Guinn. I don't care (about fighting him). Don't matter to me.

It's always tough going in somewhere where nobody likes you. It's an advantage - come on - that's crazy, it's like if he were fighting in my city. Of course it helps.
best consider everybody fights guy people until
I have got to feel I'm the best heavyweight in the world, ... If people don't consider me the best, I don't care. If everybody fights everybody, you'll know who the best guy is. Until then, it's everybody's opinion.
again hard hit
I never hit him, not the way he hit me. If I had to do it again I would go in there with a different strategy, but Wladimir will be hard to beat.
anybody anymore box far fear fight punches taking time trenches wiser
I will fight you, and I will be wiser doing it. I just don't want to take punches for no reason, but at the same time I need to box from the outside. I can box and make him miss. But if I want to get in the trenches and fight, I can do that also. I do not fear anybody anymore as far as taking their shot.
He's like Lennox. What else does he have to prove?
I need to be active, ... I'm off 11 months, that's what you get.
