fighting would-be want
If I had the medical clearance to fight, I would want to fight the best. The best would be Mayweather
fighting doctors sound
I really feel that if it wasnt for the accident, Id still be fighting. I would have handled some of these fighters. I would have made sure that the doctors would have declared me physically sound; and after that, I would have trained.

I am not going to become crazy in the ring, because I am already crazy. And I am not going to die in the ring. I am going to die in bed as an old man.

Getting hit motivates me. It makes me punish the guy more. A fighter takes a punch, hits back with three punches.
spring fighting animal
I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rights. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But i can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting.
