The opponent never matters to me. That's something I've always said.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really pick my opponents.
It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing. You've got to be the same guy; you've got to prepare the same.
I really don't care who I fight.
It's not quite as important who you beat as that you end up on top.
Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.
Pay respect to your opponent.
If you play a match, then you got to give it all to beat the opponent; there is nothing like playing against a great or a non-great player. I treat them all as opponents and aim to beat them.
I can't say, 'It doesn't matter if you win or lose.' It's not true. You go in to win.
You have to respect your opponent.
Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
