When I say I'm a true welterweight I'm talking about every fighter that has ever moved into the welterweight division.
He's coming up but he got bigger and stronger, that plus the athleticism. I'm going to have to show him that we're just as athletic in the middleweight division as [they are] in the welterweight division. I think he'll do good in the division but I'm glad I get to welcome him to middleweight.
I am a welterweight, so do I want to fight Mayweather or Pacquiao? To be honest, it has not entered my head.
Anybody in that welterweight division that think they want this, you know you don't, because I'm a problem. I'm a problem in this division.
Mayweather Promotions - we are the past, the present, and the future of sports and entertainment, and everybody knows Mayweather's pay is better.
I'm here to dominate the welterweight division.
I feel I have the power and the skillset to compete in any division up to welterweight.

I know a lot of people don't count me in as a factor in the welterweight division, but they have the right to think that way. I only want my chance to prove what I can do in the ring.

Not too worried about fighting for titles, but just fighting the best competition at the Welterweight division. I'll be happy with that.
Floyd Mayweather is bigger than the sport. That's the thing. Because you can go to somebody who don't even know what boxing is and say, "Floyd Mayweather." They'll go, "Oh, I know Floyd Mayweather. I've heard that name."
Pacquiao needs a fighter like me to sell. Our styles match up better than anyone else's styles in the welterweight division. It would be a great fight.
Mayweather is Mayweather. He's always good. He stays in shape, takes care of himself.
