All the times they put tag titles on me, Intercontinental titles on me, or the world title on me, the only time I couldn't defend the title was when I had to forfeit the belt when I quit WCW and retired from wrestling forever.
Winning the title then losing it to John Ruiz... I'd be devastated.
I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction, well it can't be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous.
Winning the IBF title was the greatest night of my life. To give it up outside the ring is truly painful.
Not many people can say they had their first big title loss to Ronda Rousey. I guess I'm OK.
I'd have to say losing the title to Ali in '74 was the lowest moment in sports for me. It was the most devastating thing in my boxing career, and it still hurts to this day.
After I won but then lost my world title I ended up with no money. Then my dad died in prison.
I know how quickly it can all change. I nearly won the title at Liverpool, and everybody's saying, 'Sign him up' - then, very quickly, I was out.
Not to mention our former tag team champions lost their titles after my good friend Christian was hit in the genitals with a hockey stick by a midgit! I mean enough is enough
Losing one grounds you a bit. I learned a lot after losing the title in 2009, learned that I was probably too intense that year, and when I didn't win, I just felt horrible.
Lord knows we've been guilty of getting too excited about a title reign only to see it last one or two fights.
I held the title for almost eight years the first time and then I lost it at the Garden. But, then I came back and took it again for another four years.
Even today, if my title hadn't been given back to me and I was in such poverty where I had to go and find a job, I would have done that.
I've won titles at home, I've won them abroad, I've defended titles abroad and lost them, and gone on to dominate my next opponent to win them back.
