Seeing guys like Canelo helps me get better because they are already champions and I want to become champion. Having role models like that helps me a lot.
I don’t care about losing. How many times did Michael Jordan lose before he won his first championship? It wasn’t about the number of losses with Sugar Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns.
It doesn’t matter how much experience Jayson Velez has, whether he fought for a world title or not. I’m going to see how he fights, and I’ll know what to do.
There’s so many people who come to me here in L.A., promising me this and promising me that. What I’m learning is figuring out what’s real versus what’s just talk.
