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

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

(You know) you're improving from fight to fight (when you can) showcase your talents against greater opponents every time.

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

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

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