This fight should be dubbed, 'No Excuses.' If Carl Froch beats me, there won't be any excuses. I beat Carl Froch, there shouldn't be any excuses. No judges, no referees, no nothing. May the best man win.

Let him tell us he's never been hurt, but that's the definition of getting hurt.

Every fighter is my toughest challenge to date. After I get done with one fight, the next challenge is the toughest.

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.

That's what makes a fighter. I got dropped and I got back up, and I found a way to get the win.

I'm not gloating over Chad Dawson, he's still the man in my book.

I told myself that I'll do everything within my power to never let that happen again.
