I always have a big cheering section everywhere I go, whether I'm in New York, Vegas or in Florida,

This puts me back, ... I'm already in the top 10 in both The Ring and the IBF, but this just puts me back as a serious player in the minds of all contenders and champions and challengers.

I don't really care if it's for a title as long as it's for big money.

I can impact the heavyweight division [if I] stop being at the losing end of these close, exciting fights, ... I'm into fighting the best in the world. I am still a contender.

There are too many opportunities in New York. We can't live too far away.

Back then, my air fare on Eastern Airlines to fly from Florida to where Marge was stationed in New York was $16. It was the most important flight I ever made.
