Fight harder, huh? I don’t see you fighting so hard. I don’t see you running up to Daddy telling him I’m your guy.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Answering advice to fight harder, the speaker hurls the challenge back. They see no comparable effort from the listener, who has not gone to their father to vouch for the speaker, and the bitter tone suggests resentment at lopsided commitment.
