Comeback Is A Good Word, Man.

People Are Always Afraid Of The Truth.

Where I Come From, Being A Hard Man Is Being Able To Take A Good Beating And Then Get Back Up Again And Carry On Fighting.

I Grew Up In A Gym In Miami, The One Where Muhammad Ali Trained. I Had 142 Amateur Fights And Lost Three.

I Tried To Change My Name For The Fights, But The Only Way They Could Pay Me Money Was If I Used My Own Name. I Wanted To Change My Name To, Like, Romeo Something-or-other, And They Said, "no, We Can't Do That. We've Got To Use Mickey Rourke." Because They Paid Me A Lot Of Money To Go Over To Europe And Asia To Fight.
