Every fight is do or die for me. I've come too far to start over. I'm on a destiny trip right now. I'm racing towards that heavyweight world championship.

When I look at the 'Rocky Balboa' film when I played the undisputed heavyweight champion, I feel like art is going to imitate life. I played the champ in a movie and I'm going to become the champ in reality.

This fight is more about what Roy Jones lost than what I took

He was bested by a better fighter, ...I didn't feel like he was intimidated. If I made a mistake he would have punished me.

I feel like God gave me an amazing ability, and it's my duty to show people what I'm made of.

Yeah I got a question: Any more excuses tonight, Roy?

I'm fighting the very best and I'm beating the very best. I'm looking to knock everybody out.
