I don't fight for legacy. I don't fight for none of that, I fight for that check. I'm in the check cashing business.

Cotto is a talented fighter but I'm God gifted.

I’m not in this sport to see how hard I can get hit or to see how many big punches I can take. I am in this game to fight as long as I can. I am trying to dish a lot of punishment.

You have to realize that most of these guys get in there and fight on heart. I fight with smarts. There is no fighter that is smarter than me. Most of these fighters are ABC, 1-2-3. I am like 4-5-6 levels above them; that's why I'm able to beat them.

I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 pounds. Other boxers weigh around 160-170 before coming down.

Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.
