I didn't need to take any fight for the last 10 years. But I've always fought the best and I've always wanted to prove myself to the best.

I was made to be where I'm at. I just had to go through some challenges, so that I can educate others later.

There's always a chance you will see something new in a fight. Especially in boxing.

Tavoris Cloud might actually be hungrier than me. How often do you hear a fighter say that his opponent is hungrier than he is? I don't need hunger. I'm motivated by my desire to prove that I'm different and that I can still silence the critics.

I still shop at Costco. I just started tipping two years ago.

Early on in my career I had the kind of anxious where you couldn't sleep at night. That anxiousness is like a virus we all have in us. Some you can deal with but some will wipe you out.

This fight isn't about boxing, it's something deeper than that.
