Mike Tyson has to be one of my greatest all time fighters. Muhammad Ali. I like going back looking at the classics like Roberto Duran. I like the old time fighters, when you had a champion in the old days you really had a true champion. Muhammad Ali would take on anybody. You had the greats fighting everybody.

I only want to fight real champions; I want to fight real opponents, so that I can climb the latter.

I look up to Bernard Hopkins as a fighter. I'm honored to be his co-main event and to be able to give a great performance.

When I say I'm a true welterweight I'm talking about every fighter that has ever moved into the welterweight division.

What I try to do is find a weakness in my opponent. A way that I can hit you. One good, clean shot. Try to time it. If I can get it and the shot is there, if I find that shot in the first round and they go down, they go down. I'm prepared for anything, not just to get first round knockouts. If they're there, I'm not gonna resist to take them.

When a 140 pounder that moves up fights a 140 pounder moved up and they move up it's a catch weight.
