against biggest bob boxing fight fighters fights floyd giving happen happened involved past since together top wanting wants
(Mayweather is) too big of a fight not to happen, but obviously, it has to happen without Top Rank. Because I just feel that things that happened in the past with Top Rank, us not making fights together and Bob Arum not wanting to make fights with our fighters ... well, OK. If you don't want to make fights with our fighters, if I fight Floyd Jr., then you're not going to be involved. It's not giving him the satisfaction. It's like saying, 'OK, you're not going to be involved in the biggest fight in boxing since (my fight against Felix) Trinidad. If he wants to play that way, I'll play that way, too.
bothers care champion few fighter hate hear inside knocked means people seconds six step thirty ticks understand
One of the things that bothers me most, ... is that very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts.' I hate that; it really ticks me off. I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter who just got knocked out in thirty seconds of your first professional fight. To step inside that ring, you have to have guts.

Mosley can turn it up and he can turn it down. He knows how to do that. It's a big factor. And people are going to be surprised how strong a fighter Mosley is.
believe fight ground stand turn
When Mosley has to turn it up, he's going to stand his ground and fight. Believe me, I know this guy. The fight is too big and his ego's too big. He will not let (Vargas) back him down. He'll fight harder.
acceptance against crazy difficult felt fight fights fought gain hero ike people please ride risks took
But people get these crazy ideas, ... I went on my own roller-coaster ride to gain acceptance from Mexican-American fight fans. It was very difficult and frustrating. There were times when I felt like shouting, 'I can be your hero too.' And there were times, like my fights against Ike Quartey and even against Fernando Vargas, when I fought more aggressively and took more risks than I should have to please those fans.
bigger game last prove takes
It's the way I went out in my last fight. I know he was a bigger guy, but I just have to go out a winner. And prove to prove to myself I have what it takes to come out of this game as a champion. That's what I have to prove to myself.

You don't represent your people. You can't represent anyone correctly. I promise you I will knock you out. I had one other opponent who I (hated) and I knocked him out (Fernando Vargas) too. I promise you will also be knocked out. Believe me.
