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.

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.

Even if you are sick, you fight until you have nothing left.

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.

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.

It's not about size, it's a science.

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