Once you're inside the ring, a fight is a fight. Fans can't fight for you, the hometown crowd can't fight for you.

Once you're inside the ring, a fight is a fight. Fans can't fight for you, the hometown crowd can't fight for you.

I respect every opponent no matter their record, no matter their title belts. I approach each opponent the same way.

I always feel like I'm in the best shape of my life for every fight I'm in.

I think the media, the boxing public hasn't seen me at my best simply because great opposition brings out the best in you.

Every boxer is tough for me. I don't think any opponent is better than any other. Every opponent is the same for me.

I'm confident you haven't seen the best yet. And I will only get better through time and through tougher competition.
