chance fourth history love opportunity people title win
I think the opportunity is there for me to win a fourth world title and I'd like to do it. Not many people get the chance to write history and I would love to do it.
fourth great title weight winning
You don't have that many opportunities to do something great all of the time, ... I think winning a fourth title (in a different weight division) would be great.
against fighter strong thinking
I'm not thinking about any other fighter than Zahir Raheem, ... This is going to be my first fight at 135 against a strong opponent.

I want to give the fans as much as I can for as long as I can,

After the fight I was taken to the hospital to make sure that I was alright and everything came out fine. Now I'm looking forward to getting some rest and spending some time with my wife (Andrea) who is due on February with our first child (a boy).

Some people feel that Pacquiao was not at his best when I beat him, but I think he was,
both fight tough
This is going to be a tough fight for both fighters.
catching difficult moved punches threw time
Raheem's a difficult fighter. He never really wanted to fight. He threw punches and moved away, and I had a difficult time catching up to him.

I have my own path drawn out, as far as my career goes, and I don't depend on anyone else, ... If our paths happen to cross, and the public really wants to see a fourth fight between us, I would be very happy to give it to them.
last
I feel ready, I feel even better than last time.
chasing guy mix seems
It probably will be difficult, ... He seems like the kind of guy who doesn't like to mix it up. I could end chasing him around for 12 rounds.
problems
It's OK. He can say what he wants. I have no problems with him.
fight time
Unfortunately, not every every time I fight can I have everything.
decide due rank respect top
With all due respect to Mr. Gomez, he is not my promoter. My promoter is Top Rank and they are the ones who decide my bouts.
