Everybody says it: black, white; everybody calls me a legend. Italians, Jews. Everybody.
From Roberto Duran
Right now, it's very difficult to single out one fighter, pound-for-pound, who is the best. Right now, it's very complex. Miguel Cotto, Mayweather and Zab Judah's a good fighter as well.
I laugh when Floyd Mayweather says that if he went back in time he would beat us all. I'll tell you this: if he was in the same era as Hagler and Hearns and Leonard and me, I don't think he would be such a big name. There is too much talk.
Nobody stands out right now. Everybody has similar styles. None of these fighters have reinvented the wheel and created a new style.
If I had the medical clearance to fight, I would want to fight the best. The best would be Mayweather.
Yes, it's true I once knocked out a horse. It was at a fiesta in my mother's home town of Guarare. Someone bet me a bottle of whiskey that I couldn't do it.
The life of a boxer is about fighting for world titles.
Every time I stepped into the ring, somebody wanted to kill me.
I fought a boxer who everybody said I couldn't beat - Sugar Ray Leonard. They said he was faster than me. That he was the best of the best. And I beat him.
I do not fight for free. But I was born to be a fighter.
