If I'm in a situation where Duane Ford is one of the judges, I have to pick it up.

The controversy was that Chad Dawson thought he was in an MMA fight and not a boxing match.

You think it's hard for me when I go in the ring and fight? That's the least of my problems. I think about the five years that I did in prison. I think about the nine years on parole. Nothing - nothing! - can compare to that struggle. I'm telling you, from being an ex-convict with 30 convictions, a degree nowhere to be found and black? I'm done.

The Pavlik fight was the first time I heard the masses put the word knockout attached to my opponent. I'm real keen on what people say. Ninety percent of it might be garbage, but something in there might be the plan. That woke me up and I knew I wanted to destroy.

The media here know that there's the possibility that I can pull this off. I'm confident. Confidence comes with work. When you prepare yourself and you know you're going into combat with all of your bullets, you have the confidence to go into battle.

Did you hear what this idiot just said!? He said it's not about the W...It's everything about the W with me!

When you have somebody that's smart and you're not so smart, to me that's modern day slavery because you're being dictated to.
