The part that sickens me about boxing is guys fight their whole careers and they have nothing to show for it. That's not going to be my testimony. When it's time to get out of the game, I want to be able to walk away. I'm not going to jeopardize my health. I will have no problems walking away.

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

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.

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.

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.
