It hurts me because of what he's doing to boxing. Because one of the most important world titles is at stake now. The champion has to defend it against the best.

I'll keep waiting because I'm a young man. I'm not as old as they think.

He needs to have a strong heart, because critics don't have a heart.

I've never had any intentions of taking a break (from boxing).

They criticize because they don't have a life. It's easy to criticize another person.

Julio Cesar Chavez will never be ready to fight me.

It makes me feel good. Being a foreigner, (the American fans) they make me feel like I'm a citizen of this country.
