If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can't make mistakes.
You've got to have a villain and they'll always make me a villain. I'm used to it - it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder.
I like fighters who come to fight.
I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight.
I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.
If I'm scared and I'm a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?
I don't have to fight if I don't want to.
You have to realize that most of these guys get in there and fight on heart. I fight with smarts. There is no fighter that is smarter than me. Most of these fighters are ABC, 1-2-3. I am like 4-5-6 levels above them; that's why I'm able to beat them.
I don't fight for legacy. I don't fight for none of that, I fight for that check. I'm in the check cashing business.
There is boxing and then there is me. The rest are just falling in line behind me or are trying to get in line to fight me. And that includes Manny Pacquiao too.
I'm fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5th because Miss Pac Man is ducking me
I don't fight for bragging rights. I've proved myself.
You stick to commentating, let me do the fighting.
The American fans would love to see me fight anybody.
