Even if you are sick, you fight until you have nothing left.
Every fighter is my toughest challenge to date. After I get done with one fight, the next challenge is the toughest.
You can still entertain without getting a knockout.
That's what makes a fighter. I got dropped and I got back up, and I found a way to get the win.
I think Bute would have to face off with the Super Six Champion to prove that he's the best Super Middleweight. You come out of a tournament like this on top, that demands a lot of respect and carries a lot of weight.
It's not about size, it's a science.
I got knocked down, I don't know how many years ago and I haven't been off my feet since, and I responded again against the best in division without the respect of having the chin I'm supposed to have.
You're only as good as your last fight. It's just the way things are. It's the way that the sport is built.
I'm always striving to be a better man to God, a better husband, a better Dad so it's just work, but I'm committed to it.
I told myself that I'll do everything within my power to never let that happen again.
In the school of boxing that I come from, that's frowned upon, giving up free shots, cos we know what those kinda shots do to a man's career, regardless of whether it shows up now, or shows up when you least need it. It takes a toll.
I'm just excited that the fans are going to get their money's worth, and you can't say that a lot of the times.
I like to talk come fight night, that's how I do it, but I'm not a pushover.
I want my legacy to be that I was a man of character, I was a God fearing man and somebody who bettered the sport in terms of the way I represented the sport. But also that fact that I was a fierce competitor and fought the best in the world and was able to come out on top, so if those things could be said about me, then I look at it as a job well done.
A lot of people look for you to change. Everything has stayed the same. Financially, this is God's money, and my wife and I are just stewards of it.
I don't abuse my body, I've been off 10 months, I still train and I'm always thinking about boxing, so I felt like I would be fine and I just wanted to challenge myself against another top caliber fighter.
The way my father raised me, we don't pat ourselves on the back. We don't call ourselves great, we let other people do that.
I think he takes a good shot, I take a good shot too, but taking too many shots is not good for any fighter. And it's not really a reputation you want.
I'm not gloating over Chad Dawson, he's still the man in my book.
He's built up to be invincible and no man is invincible, any man can be knocked out.
I don't rest on my laurels and start getting lazy. It makes me just wanna keep working.
I'm not going to say that I'm the best, we respect our champions. Floyd's been doing this a lot longer than me, he's been a lot of mega fights and I won't dare say that I'm better than Floyd Mayweather.
What you gotta understand is, in this conversation and in our fight, you're not in control.
Let him tell us he's never been hurt, but that's the definition of getting hurt.
It's one thing to have an eye for the sport, and it's another to have a feel for the sport. He has both.
