Anybody that's in my weight class, above me or beneath me, I keep an eye on.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
