That's one fight that I'm looking forward to happening. I've always told you I'm not going to duck Scott, he's earned his right. I like Scott and I think he's a cool guy but when we get in the ring it's going to be a fight and it's going to be an exciting fight. I think it's the kind of fight that everybody wants to see.

To tell you the truth, I don't know nothing about him. I've never seen him fight, but I know I want his title and I'm ready to shut his mouth as soon as he's ready to be reasonable with his demands.
chance fighting happen injuries injury knew months planned talked
If the injury is serious, I mean, he talked about having injuries and he knew there was a chance it could happen with him fighting two months out. And with him fighting two months out I never really thought he planned on fighting me anyway. I really don't think his injury is legit. If it is I'm sorry, but I really don't think it is.

I respect what he has done and I see myself as the underdog. But I am just focused and ready for the fight.

Joe is a great champion. I have a lot of respect for him, ... That's why I wanted this fight so bad, because I have a lot of respect for him and I considered him, up until me winning the world title, one of the best champions in the division. And I want to fight the best.

I suspected all along that Calzaghe didn't want any of this. I kinda prepared myself for it but it is still disappointing.
anyone fought
I think it's going to take its toll. I see a lot of weaknesses. He hasn't fought anyone like me.

Jim has never taken a dime from either one us, ... In fact, he's given us more money than we could ever give back. He's a great guy. You couldn't ask for a better person.

You know I like that fight and I'm confident of walking away with two super-middleweight titles
coming fans forward grow mentally move percent physically ready rebuilding relaxing taking toward until
I don't want to move forward until I'm 110 percent mentally and physically. I know my fans want me to move on, and I'm working toward that, but if I'm not ready mentally and physically ready, I won't. I need to grow from this. I'm at my rebuilding stage. It's about me taking time, relaxing and then coming out and doing what I have to do to rebuild.
