Why have anyone go through all that if you're still going to make the decision that he can't fight?

He meant so much for the sport and to the people.

Out of ego, I wouldn't go down [in class] to fight somebody.

I'm going back to the drawing board and pray and give it serious thought.

I knew with his mentality, his ego, he was gonna try to knock me out, which was gonna allow me to really hit him, ... But my corner stopped it. That was a disappointment I had to overcome, to be able to understand that they actually felt I shouldn't be taking no punches and that they didn't want me to get hurt. So now I have to find a new trainer.

They're looking at the wrong angle. If I was a guy who never been heavyweight champ of the world or a guy never made any money, then they say 'Well, I can understand.' But why do you have to understand for me to know the point, the commitment to what I believe? See, I have a commitment with God. Even before I became heavyweight champion of world, I said 'Lord, I want to do this for you and I will give you the glory. I will stay out here as long as you want me to.'
