It is satisfying following such an emphatic victory over the current unbeaten champion (Lucian Bute) to know that there's a lot of people eating humble pie.

Bute coming over here is a big mistake.

I haven't had the recognition I deserve, You can go back to anybody's career - Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, David Haye, Amir Khan, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Steve Collins, Naseem Hamed. My record is better than all of theirs.

Some people have a team of ten people - Waste of money, waste of time. I do it on my own when I'm in the ring.

I can be just as dirty. I could use my head or my elbows and we can we all dirty.

You've got to be careful against classy fighters, especially counter-punchers because if you go for the finish too early, you can end up getting finished yourself.

I was prepared to get knocked out myself trying to knock him out, because then I could sleep at night knowing that I've given my best.
