To tell you the truth, I don’t know nothing about him. I’ve never seen him fight, but I know I want his title and I’m ready to shut his mouth as soon as he’s ready...

I don’t think that’s the case, it wasn’t the real me in that fight. We’ll find out when I return in October.

I think my performance I put on tonight spoke for itself [on what he would like to say to Joe Calzaghe]. The shirt Gary gave him [Reid], ‘all he did was come to America and...

I’m trying to get these titles and I’m going to go out of my way to make it happen, but I’m not going to make stupid decisions. I want to unify the division and I’m...

I don’t buy that injury for a minute. He’s just ducking me to get out of the fight,

They see me as, as one of those throwback fighters. When I enter the ring, I am coming in there to fight. And that is what this fight is all about. It is going to...

Exactly! And that’s why I continued to go on with my career. I continued to box and I fought when I had to do. I think he took this fight to get out of the...

Scott is a dangerous fighter, … Everyone has been ducking him.

I felt good. He fought a good fight and I can’t take anything anyway from him. He never said a bad thing about me the entire time, but he didn’t knock me out, though. I’ll...

Everybody knows about my left hook, so you’ve got to go to the gym and work on something more devastating.

If the injury is serious, I mean, he talked about having injuries and he knew there was a chance it could happen with him fighting two months out. And with him fighting two months out...

I took his best shots and he couldn’t take mine. That was the difference of the fight. I get stronger as the fight goes on; he was getting weaker.

I felt strong. I thought if I could get in close to him I could unleash some bombs.

Joe is a great champion. I have a lot of respect for him, … That’s why I wanted this fight so bad, because I have a lot of respect for him and I considered him,...

It is an honor for me to fight in the (Tampa) bay area, … It’s something I always dreamed of doing — defending a world title in the bay area. Now it has come true...

I like being the underdog and I like to hear the crowd boo, … By the end of the fight they’ll be cheering for me saying, ‘That was a great fight.’

It’s like driving. You either get in an accident or you don’t.

So it will be 10 p.m. over here for me.

Jim has never taken a dime from either one us, … In fact, he’s given us more money than we could ever give back. He’s a great guy. You couldn’t ask for a better person.

The ring can be a real lonely place. I’ve been fighting 20 years, ever since my dad took me into the gym at the age of eight because I’d been fighting kids at elementary school....

That’s one fight that I’m looking forward to happening. I’ve always told you I’m not going to duck Scott, he’s earned his right. I like Scott and I think he’s a cool guy but when...

I suspected all along that Calzaghe didn’t want any of this. I kinda prepared myself for it but it is still disappointing.

I respect what he has done and I see myself as the underdog. But I am just focused and ready for the fight.

I think it’s going to take its toll. I see a lot of weaknesses. He hasn’t fought anyone like me.

I can’t get up for training unless I’m in a big fight, and this is going to be a fight fans want to see. He has power, and I have power. It’s going to be...

Sometimes you need a loss to win. I think it could be a good learning experience for me. Joe is a great champion. I shot for the No. 1 guy in the division. Maybe someday...

This is a fight I’m taking very seriously and there’s going to be fireworks on March 4, … I’m going over there to do my thing. I won’t be denied.

We will still fight on November 5th. Everyone had been telling me all along to have a backup plan because Calzaghe was going to fallout. I had too much respect and trust for Frank Warren...

I don’t want to move forward until I’m 110 percent mentally and physically. I know my fans want me to move on, and I’m working toward that, but if I’m not ready mentally and physically...

He’s not a fighter I can overlook at all. He was able to knock out Omar Sheika, a guy who I couldn’t knockout, … Sure, I wanted Calzaghe, but Scott Pemberton is a really good...
