Does it take winning over a Top P4P, iron-chinned Timothy Bradley? Does it mean displaying his power against a technical boxer, Chris Algieri? Or, does it take beating Floyd Mayweather, to prove he is still here and very much alive?

“He (Mayweather) has reached a dead end. He has nowhere to run but to fight me. I will try my best to make this a thrilling and entertaining fight. But I doubt if he’s gonna engage me in a slugfest. You all know his fighting style. Most of his previous fights, if not all, induced us to sleep.”
