7. Do you still train?  I’m not in training at this time.

8. Will you ever fight again?  Although I don’t think I’ll fight again, I’ll never say never.  I make every attempt to stay busy, and be a part of boxing, outside the ring so I won’t get that “itch” again to fight inside the ring.

9. Who is your favorite boxer?  My favorite boxer is Floyd Mayweather Jr.  Regardless of what he’s done outside the ring, he is the ultimate technician inside the ring.  The only person that can beat Mayweather (at this point) is himself, that is, his outside antics might catch up to him at some point.
