People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

Maidana is a young, strong and tough competitor. He's a guy that I can't overlook. You can never take any fighter for granted because anything can happen.

I got a granite chin.

I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.

I don't fight for bragging rights.

He can have heart, he can hit harder and he can be stronger, but there's no fighter smarter than me.

If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can't make mistakes.
