I feel blessed that I managed to fight 46 fights undefeated, that I was a world champion for 11 years, one of the longest reigning champions of all time and I like to think that I come out looking pretty good.

It's not my place to say how good I was because the thing is, every champion from every era is a great fighter and it's up to one person's interpretation to who is actually the best.

If I would've fought Andre Ward in my prime, I would've beat him.

I've defended my title for eight years, let's see if Ricky (Hatton) is still champion in four years.

To retire at the top of the game, that's always been my aim.

I'm devastated with the injury but I've proved my heart and skill to everyone by fighting one handed for eight rounds.

He's a sore loser and he lost the fight.

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

I've been boxing for 25 years and I need exciting fights.
