“I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I’m capable of doing in the ring.”

I don’t care what you have done before or what you are capable of: if you come up against a guy like me, you are in trouble.

This is the hardest part for me. Just the waiting – the waiting to fight. The work has all been done, and you just have to wait.

People have to realize that God has blessed me with power. He hasn’t got me this far for no reason. I feel like God has a plan for me in this sport. That’s how I have came up this fast.

It don’t matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle: I’m going to fight like heavyweight champions do.

I don’t know how a man can live with himself to get to the top knowing he didn’t do it the right way.

There’s no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I’m the most athletic heavyweight in the division.

Some guys may play around and say a couple of things, but if I say it, I mean it. I may laugh, it may be funny, but if I say I’m going to get you, I’m going to get you.

I’m not losing no time soon, or ever, till I retire.

My right hand is a monster.

I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories.

Having patience is one of the hardest things about being human. We want to do it now, and we don’t want to wait. Sometimes we miss out on our blessing when we rush things and do it on our own time.

I don’t see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.

Street fight, you just ground and pound ’em. Boxing is totally different.

My daughter will find some of the sweetest words to tell you that can make a grown man cry. She still gives me the same inspiration. She still motivates me.

Whether somebody think badly of me, whether somebody don’t feel that I should be doing this or I should be doing that way, I don’t really care. Whether they think that my fatigue is being laid, legs are skinny, I don’t care.

I’ve been talking about unifying the division for a long time.
