I've put myself on this pedestal from the start.
I want to be remembered as a guy who transcended boxing.
Great fighters get beat, and great fighters come back.
I do think I retired too soon. I just felt at that particular time in 2002, after winning a fifth world title belt, why not be one of the smart ones in boxing and get out.
I just felt I had done enough in the sport to put my stamp on boxing.
The Kelley fight meant that much because it's always when a fighter from this country goes over to America and proves himself, it's always make or break in a British fighter's career.
One thing that has irritated me in the sport of boxing since I stopped is I'm really surprised that no one has come along to excite me like me.
I like Carl Frampton; he gets down to business.
As a fighter, I recognise that the one thing we fight for is prizes. The one thing that motivates us is money. A lot of fighters do come back because of money. The biggest spur they have is financial, and thank God my finances were secure, and I didn't need to come back for that reason.
There were a lot of fighters who were better than me that got knocked out and stopped because they stayed in the game too long. That never happened to me. I don't know that feeling. I thank God so much that that didn't happen to me.
I carried the WBO belt for five years and defended it 15 times against 10 world champions.
I've knocked guys out in the 11th round before, late.
My idol, Muhammad Ali, got beat when nobody thought he would, and he came back and back to beat Joe Frazier.
I might spar with him, or I might teach him a few tricks, but even if there was $1 billion or £1m offered, I'd never get in the ring with another Muslim. It's against my principles.
At 19, I was European champion, and at 21, I was world champion. Let's just hope Amir Khan can follow in the same footsteps. I believe he can do it 100%; he's a fantastic talent.
I know I look arrogant, but I'm altogether a different person outside the ring.
I'm unbeatable and untouchable.
