The way my father raised me, we don't pat ourselves on the back. We don't call ourselves great, we let other people do that.

I told myself that I'll do everything within my power to never let that happen again.

I think he takes a good shot, I take a good shot too, but taking too many shots is not good for any fighter. And it's not really a reputation you want.

It's not about size, it's a science.

You can still entertain without getting a knockout.

Anybody that's in my weight class, above me or beneath me, I keep an eye on.

This fight should be dubbed, 'No Excuses.' If Carl Froch beats me, there won't be any excuses. I beat Carl Froch, there shouldn't be any excuses. No judges, no referees, no nothing. May the best man win.

What you gotta understand is, in this conversation and in our fight, you're not in control.

I'm just excited that the fans are going to get their money's worth, and you can't say that a lot of the times.
