Quotes

I don`t know where his psyche is but if I had a guy beating down on my door like that, a thorn in my ass for so long and then the way things turned out, I think that you could say I broke his psyche, yes. Because I never looked at him as the great Roy Jones Jr., the immortal champion, the guy that was unbeatable, unstoppable. I never looked at him like that. I always looked at him outta my eyes. And when I looked at him I saw him as a regular person. Just a man. And that`s why I was able to go in there and have the confidence - and to know if I got the opportunity - I would be revered as the best fight he`s ever faced. He was coming off of winning the heavyweight championship of the world when he faced Antonio Tarver. So I know, excuses aside, he hadn`t faced a real fighter until he faced me.

I`m not...you know what? I`m not gonna say that the guy can`t win. I mean, I don`t know what he`s doing in preparation. But I will make sure that I do everything in my power to make sure that victory escapes him. So that`s my responsibility in this fight. I didn`t come this far right now to take a back step. So that`s my motivation and my determination. I`m gonna close the book on this guy. So get your tickets early because this will be your last RJ sighting and I`m determined to get rid of the guy once and for all.

I`m the legend killer. That`s my new moniker. Like Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins had his era and now he`s got to go. Personally, I think he`s nuts for even thinking he can beat me. But I`m not going to talk him out of (trying).
