There are 49 guys that got bored to sleep on my record, so they got knocked out by it.

I've been doing this 26 years and have a lot of knowledge which will help me in the ring.

I should say that mental strength is No. 1, experience [is] No. 2, physical strength is No. 3, and genetic ability that you're getting from Mother Nature probably comes after.

I would compare it to an actor. I drive myself into the character that later on is in the ring.

I heard that I am crazy for taking this fight but I'm very excited about this chance. His manager is saying that I'm a 'dead man walking' but 'dead men' cannot have 'nightmares'.

Obsession is love in an extreme shape.

It's not my place to compare myself to greats like Tyson, Frazier or men like that. But I would look at a fighter like Evander Holyfield. He's a great heavyweight who worked his way up through the weight classes to become champion and had to beat bigger men along the way.
