I'll take some to give some because I want to win that bad.
Vitali Klitschko clobbered me with jabs left and right. I believe he threw the most punches he had thrown in his career against me, and that's because I just kept coming with the pressure.

There are those kind of fighters that just go in to get paid. That's not me, man. I have never been that guy.
I don't have a muscle body. I don't have a chiseled frame.
The more you win, the more you get paid. I'm not trying to get paid less money. I've worked too hard to get into this tax bracket.

Not only am I at a decent fighting weight already, I don't let myself balloon anymore. I let myself get up to 280, 290 before. I can't believe I let myself do that.

I'm in boxing to be a champion and if I lose it brings me all the way back to the bottom, and I don't want to keep crawling back up. I'm too old to be doing that, man.
I can't be someone that I'm not. And people can spot when someone's being fake, when somebody's not being real, when somebody's sugar-coating stuff. People don't like that.
