against champion eight fight top
I see it as my career-defining fight. I have been champion for eight years, but have not had the big unification fight against a top fighter. Now, I have the opportunity.
above anyone fought opposition
He hasn't, obviously, fought anyone in my league, ... That's the big thing. I'm way above some of the opposition he's fought.

motivation believe two

motivation judging looks
Judging by your performance at the Olympics, it don't look too bright for your future does it!

motivation men secret
No secret man. Just starvation, hunger and diet.
motivation fighting thinking
I honestly think that a Pavlik fight would be easier than Jones because styles make fights. He's one dimensional, comes in straight lines, I love that.
motivation blessed fighting
I feel blessed that I managed to fight 46 fights undefeated, that I was a world champion for 11 years, one of the longest reigning champions of all time and I like to think that I come out looking pretty good.
