I honestly think that a Pavlik fight would be easier than Jones because styles make fights. He's one dimensional, comes in straight lines, I love that.

That gut-wrenching feeling of defeat I can still feel today. Losing and God are the two things that I fear. I fear no man

The lacy fight was a career defining fight.

There's no silver spoon treatment in this place.

I've been eight years with this beautiful little thing and I've got a partner for him now. After eight years of trying to unify the titles, it's going to be pretty hard to give this up.

He's an old good fighter, he's an intelligent fighter but I wouldn't say he's the best I've ever fought.

Two big punchers, you've got to keep your chin down, keep your defense up, don't be careless or open, box sensibly, control the centre of the ring and when he lets his punches go, believe me he's gonna know all about it.
