I was willing to fight anybody but, at the same time, I was timid of the bigger guys.
anybody anymore box far fear fight punches taking time trenches wiser
I will fight you, and I will be wiser doing it. I just don't want to take punches for no reason, but at the same time I need to box from the outside. I can box and make him miss. But if I want to get in the trenches and fight, I can do that also. I do not fear anybody anymore as far as taking their shot.
fight good performance referee
Hopefully, the referee will do his job. Hopefully, we just fight and give a good performance to the crowd.
again hard hit
I never hit him, not the way he hit me. If I had to do it again I would go in there with a different strategy, but Wladimir will be hard to beat.

I never hit him, not the way he hit me.
I need to be active, ... I'm off 11 months, that's what you get.
care champion cheat fighting fights looks matter sample
If his urine sample doesn't come back dirty, yeah, he's a champion. But it did, ... You can't cheat and get caught. Now we will see how it looks when he fights Guinn. I don't care (about fighting him). Don't matter to me.
He's like Lennox. What else does he have to prove?
anywhere belong coming division far fight germany huge prove ready small winning
I feel I'll get more credibility by coming over to Germany and winning than if I did it anywhere else. I'm ready to fight and prove I really belong in this division. I may be a small guy, but I want to be huge in the division as far as being the man.
anybody
In the ring, I don't think there's anybody better than me.
active king
If you're with Don King and in the doghouse you don't get fights. I need to be active and he won't get me any fights.
arsenal fight good great kindness respect shy talent
I know what kind of talent Wladimir will have and I respect that a lot. Yes, he has a great jab. He has a great arsenal of punches. But I come to fight and not shy away from anyone. I go in and give it my all and put on a good show.
boxing business care champion expected love lowest
I never expected to be champion and be at one of the lowest times of my career. I still love the sport of boxing but I don't care for the business part of it.
