I've always said I have very good timing. It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I'm a step ahead.

It would be a great thing for my legacy to get in the ring with an all-time great.

I think I showed I'm resilient, I'm strong, I can go the distance against a bigger man and still box effectively.

I don't have a number set that I'm chasing, but I do believe I'll be a champion at 140, and again at 147.

I've been on cruise control with my opponents, even though I fought some very good champions, undefeated champions.

Robert Easter Jr. is a tough fighter who I have to take very seriously and I do, and that's why we did a nine-week training camp and got the great sparring, got the right training, the right diet, everything.

If I want to pad the record, just fight pretenders, get a quick paycheck and keep moving on and racking up wins, that's not something I want to be known for.

I made it a goal of mine to fight the biggest challenges, so that people can appreciate who I am as a fighter.

I feel that my body is not made to be a natural welterweight. But my abilities and boxing skills will allow me to be successful even at 147.

I'm always the favorite heading into fights. My accomplishments don't get credit because I'm supposed to win.

I don't take easy fights.

I don't feel the need to do anything other than what I've been doing, beating my opponents, getting some knockouts, keeping the fans coming. I don't need to do anything other than that.

I think Adrien Broner was at his best. If he wasn't, I would have knocked him out. He was very motivated, he changed camps and made weight with no issues.

I'm here to take control of my career and take it to where I believe it should be.

I fight for my name. For my dad's last name to be recognized in the history books of boxing.

When I walk into the arena, I get excited and emotional, when I see the fans rise and start cheering. But then I get into the ring and it's all business for me.

I want to give my fans great fights to remember me by.

I'm here to let everyone know I'm taking bigger fights and I'm not afraid on taking the bigger challenges.

I want to get bigger and better fights, where people can recognize me as one of the better fighters in the world.

I could easily be defending my title against top contenders in the Top 10, but if they haven't been champions or their record's not perfect, it doesn't really excite me. It doesn't motivate me. But that's why I'm facing guys like Dejan Zlaticanin, Sergey Lipinets, undefeated champions.

I'm not an 'opponent.' I don't believe I should be treated as an opponent.

I don't think being undefeated is going to determine my greatness.

I'm not afraid to step up and take challenges.

All of the great fighters have had losses but are still considered among the greatest ever. The undefeated record is not as important to me as facing the toughest challenges out there.
