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.

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.

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 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.

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