I don't want to be chasing a big, awkward southpaw around the ring. I want a fight that people will enjoy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just think about the fight and what can happen. In the ring, It's my time to shine in front of everyone.
I don't care where I fight on the card, but to get people motivated or excited, like, 'Cowboy's fighting!' that's my overall goal.
Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world. You've got all the fans, lots of hangers-on jumping up and shouting different words. But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.
Listen, I'm the champ, and I'm not going to pick and choose who I fight.
I had many boxing matches with my brother in the backyard when we were younger, and I guess while other people abhor boxing for its brutality, I also have to admire anyone who climbs into the ring to face up to what could be the ultimate defeat.
I'm willing to fight, but I want to fight to win.
I just have to go out and fight my fight and fight to win.
I get the headlines for being slick and different things like that - which is part of my game - but it's just amazing to me that a lot of times, the people don't see the other things that go on in that ring. But a lot of times, when my opponents figure it out, the fight is over. It's too late.
Money talks. I want the biggest fight. Whoever I've got to fight - the biggest show, biggest payday - that's what I want.
I like a good old-fashioned fistfight if people are pissed off at each other. I just feel like if you're really mad and want to have a fight, then put your dukes up.
