Back when we won the 170-pound title, I knew we were going to go back and get the 155-pound title but the 145-pound title wasn't even a thought in the mind. We would have had that title already if it was around.

B. J. Penn

Being recognized as the pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter is my ultimate dream.

Vasyl Lomachenko

I was having so much fun in my first world title fight, against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, I didn't want it to end.

Cody Garbrandt

My long-term goal is to become the UFC champion and to hold that 205-pound title. If you're not really in it to do that, why even bother with a sport like this?

Ryan Bader

Joe Frazier was the epitome of a champion. I mean, here is a guy who was total old school, blue collar, who would fight anybody. You know, he didn't tell you he was the best fighter pound for pound.

Sugar Ray Leonard

I've already proved that I don't care if the man I have in front of me is the best pound-for-pound champion.

Marcos Maidana

If I want to fight for a 155-pound title - if I hold the 145-pound title - give me the fight.

Max Holloway

The best fight I ever saw without question, I was very fortunate to be a judge in the fight, between the then current WBC 122 pound champion Wilfredo Gomez, and the reigning WBC 118 pound champion Lupe Pintor. It was absolutely beyond belief.

Harold Lederman

You're not challenging anyone else but yourself. I'd like to have a 300-pound bench, 500-pound deadlift, and a 400-pound squat.

Aaron Tippin

The ultimate goal for me is to be the world champion - it's all I've wanted to do since I was a kid - so when the money that comes with it is life-changing, yes, that's nice, but get The Ring magazine belt, being considered the world champion, is something money can't buy.

Callum Smith

The lightweight title will be mine, but I'm looking for multiples and I am looking for that best pound for pound spot.

Tony Ferguson

That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.

Muhammad Ali

I was voted best-looking kid in high school but, as you can see, things changed. I used to say I was a 260-pound Woody Allen. You can make that 295-pound now.

James Gandolfini

I was voted best-looking kid in high school but, as you can see, things changed. I used to say I was a 260 pound Woody Allen. You can make that 295 pound now.

James Gandolfini

Winning a world title has always been the dream and ultimate goal.
