I have seen many a man turn his gold into smoke, but you are the first who has turned smoke into gold.
I think the media, the boxing public hasn't seen me at my best simply because great opposition brings out the best in you.
Every boxer is tough for me. I don't think any opponent is better than any other. Every opponent is the same for me.
Once you're inside the ring, a fight is a fight. Fans can't fight for you, the hometown crowd can't fight for you.
I respect every opponent no matter their record, no matter their title belts. I approach each opponent the same way.
I always feel like I'm in the best shape of my life for every fight I'm in.
I'm confident you haven't seen the best yet. And I will only get better through time and through tougher competition.

Thanks to my work everything's going well; it's a great consolation.
