He said - "boxing has been dead in America for ten years, nobody knew who the heavyweight champion was, now after 40 fights this country boy from Alabama has put it back on the map. I had to start from the very bottom. I took high risks to get here. I fought Ortiz. I feel i'm the best in the world and don't care what anyone says."

Fair enough, why should he risk losing to Joshua? $100 million sounds nice but it will never match the admiration of the American public who have a fighter to be proud of.

To this day!!!
