In Arabic, 'Naseem' means a gentle breeze. But inside the guy's a monster.

I made a prediction when I was 11 that I would be world champion by the time I was 21, and I did it.

I'm going to take Barrera out in devastating style with unbelievably hard shots. He's tailor-made for me, and I will fit him with a suit to wear on the canvas.

No one can stand up to the extraordinary power of my fists.

When I win, I send shock waves through the boxing world.

I'm not immortal. I'm not unbeatable.

I like Carl Frampton; he gets down to business.

I remember when Muhammad Ali got beaten the first time. I remember when Lennox Lewis got beaten the first time, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson. All of those were legendary fighters, and they came back, and that's what made them different - what they did after they got beat.

From the age of seven, I was destined to be a legend, to be the world's most popular fighter.

I want to be remembered as the man who changed the pay scale for featherweights, who put the sparkle back in boxing after Muhammad Ali left, the man who took risks with his ring entrance, the man who, before the fight, would do a front flip into the ring without even thinking about turning an ankle, and then knocking his man out. I mean out.

Nobody's going to help me when I get in that ring. That's how I like it: the responsibility's on me, and whatever happens is down to me, nobody else.

I agree that some of my performances in America, apart from having drama and excitement, have been a little under my estimation for performance.

I came out out at the age of 28 and knew I'd had one loss on points, and the only reason I had that loss was that the fight was taken too soon. I lost two and a half stone in eight weeks, which was virtually impossible, but I made it, and I still got that big cheque!

I found boxing so, so easy with incredible power, speed, and accuracy.

When I was fighting, there was no boxing in Saudi Arabia because it was forbidden.

Who do you know, who could come out on a flying carpet? P. Diddy standing at the bottom, come out like a concert, dancing, oozing confidence, and then get in and take somebody out? Come on, do you know anybody in the history of the sport that did what Prince Naseem did? I ain't trying to brag, but I was bloody good at it.

I'm not saying I'm Mr Goody Two Shoes. I'm not. But if you try to rough me up, I'm going to body-slam you. I'm going to do everything I have to do psychologically to tell you that you are not stronger than me.

With age, you become more humble, more wise.

I'm going to smash Wayne McCullough to bits. And when you see him smashed to bits, you're going to see the same thing I'd have done to Barry McGuigan, his friend and idol.

I'm blessed with a gift from God. When you're blessed, you have an advantage. You know you're not going to get beat when you're fighting with a gift. You're fighting with something that God has given you.

When I get knocked down, I'm going to get up and knock you down - and I'm going to hurt you.

I've got music in my head when I fight. I've got a certain rhythm, a certain way of fighting, a certain relaxation where I can let myself go.

A revelation came to me at 16. All true princes must someday become kings.

The fact is I have lost a fight, and I accept the loss from Allah. That's the way a real fighter and a real man goes out.
