Даг Dewitt: “I could have done better in the Tommy Hearns fight. Took Robbie Simms too lightly but I won the rematch. I was No. 3 (во светот) and I was going to fight Marvin Hagler, who was world champion when there was only one. Boxing is a tough business. I’m not walking around like I used to 20 години. I had some good teachers. Имав добра кариера, I wouldn’t call it great. Thank you very much.”
