We can't go in the ring and think opponent is going to be like that from the last knockout. We don't know how he is personally. We have to go in there and wait and wait and wait and see what he has because he is still a dangerous opponent.

I am a Pit Bull mixed with a Great Dane, mixed with a Rottweiler, mixed with a Bull Terrier, mixed with everything. That's what kind of dog I am.

I guess there hasn't been a tough enough opponent for me to fight. But fighting a southpaw is OK. It's something different and maybe I need something different. I look at a right-handed fighter then I look at a left-handed fighter, and it's even better.

Everybody is overlooking me. I just want to show the world that, hey, he is in there with a live dog. He is not in there with a little puppy. He is in there with a live dog. I am going to show the world that he belongs with the best; he wants to fight the best. This is the guy that has heart and balls that gives everything in the ring, that's what he wants.

I love it when they doubt me and I can prove them wrong. I proved them wrong against Peterson. I did it again against Acosta. I did it with Antillon and I did it with Alvarado. So I'll be ready.

I'm a fighter. I'm a warrior. I'll fight anybody.

I have read articles. I don't need to go out there and keep saying it. The people that 'know boxing.' Everybody is out there saying it. But that's OK. I am going to go out there and shut everybody up.
