Another Duran quote along similar lines... "There is only one legend, & that is me." LOL. Her'e's another great Lightweight showcasing his humility... "I don't care who he is, I can make him miss. If I don't want God to touch me, he won't."

If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.' How about this one: 'Boxing to me seems barbaric. I don't really like it'
I think he was there when he said it, no? He also added that "He may think he may need to be in the hawshpittal"
