Most of these guys that I’m fighting are not even on my level. I belong up there with Mayweather and Pacquiao and some of these top guys in the world. I believe I will give these guys trouble. People will say, ‘You’re the next Mayweather,’ and this and that, but I believe in my heart that once I get to that big stage, these guys are going to have problems with me,” stated lightweight contender Hank Lundy, who strongly believes that his talent is on par with the biggest names in the sport. Check out what else he had to say about his future plans as he looks forward to taking his career to the next level.
PC: How are things going, man?

PC: Where would you like the win to propel you and how do you feel about the talent at 140 pounds?
