I'm still the best bantamweight in the world in my mind, yes. If I had any doubt that I was the best in the world then I shouldn't be competing. If you don't think you're going to be the best, what's the point?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.
As long as I have that support from my team, and I have that confidence in myself that I train really hard, I think there's no one out there who can defeat me in my weight class.
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
I think it doesn't matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I'm going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It's not all about competing and being the best. It's more about having fun and just doing what you love.
I am not trying my best because it is the Olympics. I try my best always.
I just always expect the best because I'm a competitor and if I'm competing, then obviously I'm trying to be better in everything.
I'm not the best athlete.
I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.
