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.
biggest boxing bringing fought james keeps mouth name needs running since talks
James is running scared. James has the biggest mouth in boxing but he has no heart. He talks a lot of trash. He keeps bringing my name up. They say they need a tuneup. I haven't fought since November. Who needs a tuneup?
dog king
I tell you one thing, if you are with Don King and you're in his dog house, you don't get to fight,

I think I am more confident now in my ability to fight bigger, taller guys. I just want to show I am the best out there. I am going to beat him.
mentally
I think more than anything it has been mentally draining,
belong huge prove small trying
I'm still trying to prove I belong in this division. I may be a small guy, but I want to be huge in this division.

Three fights in three years, it has been disappointing. Sometimes you get frustrated and just want to retire. I've been to that point. It has been pretty bad.
came champion cheat test
Yeah, (he's a champion), if his test doesn't come back dirty, ... But it came back dirty, so he can't be a champion. You can't cheat and win. You get caught.
champion unified until
Until you get a unified champion, it's just everybody's opinion.
cannot certain champion fighters goals happening point setting since stopped taking time unified unifying until
Until you get a unified champion, it is split. Since I have been champion, I have really stopped setting goals because I do not see them realistically happening from the other boxers' point of view. You cannot make certain fighters fight. I will be 90 years old before I see myself unifying any kind of belt. Right now, I am just taking one fight at a time and just see what happens.
fight good performance referee
Hopefully, the referee will do his job. Hopefully, we just fight and give a good performance to the crowd.
faithful fight fights frustrated god patient plugging point remain three
To fight three times in three years is crazy. It has been disappointing to the point of sometimes you get frustrated and really just want to retire. I have been to that point, but God is faithful and I just keep plugging along. I just have to remain patient and fights will happen, but it has been disappointing.
added care change check coming fight guess
(Toney) was the headlining fight coming in, ... We just got added to the card. I guess they did not want to change it. It does not matter. ? I am just boxing. As long as the check clears, I do not care if I was the first fight coming out.
active best boxing business great mentally past seen side taken three
More than anything it has been mentally draining. Mentally it has been a struggle. This business side of boxing is horrible. It has taken my best years of boxing. If I had been very active this past two or three years, you would have seen some great fights.
