Everyone Has Freedom To Say Whatever They

I Do Not Lose; I Just Do Not Get Decisions Sometimes. You Lose When You Quit. I Have Never Quit. When It Comes Down To A Decision, Judges Make A Decision As To Which Fighter They Want To Win The Fight. I Have Always Been Able To Survive No Matter Whom They Decide To Give The Fight To.

That's The Biggest Problem With Boxing In The United States. They Do Not Promote It Like They Used To, When It Used To Be Howard Cosell And They Showed It On 'wide World Of Sports.' Everybody Knew All The Fighters. Everybody Was Looking Forward To The Year When The Olympics Came On.

Madison Square Garden, November 1984. I Don't Recall Taking Too Much Fear Into The Ring. I Knew I Could Fight. But I Got A Big Shock. They Put Me In With This Rough, Tough Veteran Called Lionel Byarm. He Tested Me To The Limit. But I Fought My Heart Out And, In The End, I Prevailed. The Story Of My Life, In My Very First Fight.

There Are A Lot Of Times I Have Seen Someone Fight, And I Think The Guy Is Tailor Made For Me Until They Actually Get In The Ring With Me. Fighters That Are More Aggressive Match Up Better With Me. There Is Really No Defense When A Guy Is Trying To Get You. When A Guy Is Trying To Get You, You Cannot Get Him, Which Makes The Most Compelling Fight.

The Game's Been Good To Me And I Hope I've Been Good To The Game. I'm 50 Years Old And I've Pretty Much Did Everything That I Wanted To Do In Boxing.
