I don't know what being a 48-year-old feels like. There are a lot of 48 year olds that aren't in good shape. The pharmacy is making a killing off of them.

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.

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

I've got a history of frustrating guys and making them angry.

I like Sergio Martinez. I think he's strong, he's gritty, he's got plenty of heart, he's not the fanciest guy you might have seen in boxing but he has the goods to be around a long time in the Middleweight division.

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.

Anybody who thinks I'm taking this fight for a paycheck doesn't know me. My whole life I've been achieving the impossible.
