From nothing to everything is a long way, ... From everything to nothing is one stop. |
He should be proud _ I have never seen anybody take that much punishment and come back. They are a great family. |
He's a fighter with a big, big heart. But he provoked me. |
I can fight 12 rounds, no problem, as you can see. I enjoyed the fight. |
I don't care where people come from. It is not important to me. If you are good people will like you; if you are not, they won't. It is simple. |
I had enjoyed a lot of success when I was younger and then came some difficult years. |
I had to learn what it's like on the other side. |
I have the goal in my life to be a sports champion, ... It was very important to win because, right now, that's the fight to become number one in the IBF and WBO. It is my goal and now I'm in the position to fight for the championship. |
I heard that I am crazy for taking this fight but I'm very excited about this chance, ... His manager is saying that I am a 'dead man walking' but 'dead men' cannot have 'nightmares'. |
I love to iron. The first thing I do whenever I get to a hotel is borrow an iron. No one else ever touches my shirts. |
I think enough time has passed, almost six months, |
It is very important to know both sides. I enjoyed a lot of success in my early years, then come the tough years. |
It was like a musician playing notes. Everything we trained worked. |
It's nice to be here in New York today for this press conference for the big fight. And I think this fight will be very interesting for the audience. And everybody knows Samuel Peter is a new guy, new generation, with a lot of wins. And he was a nightmare for last 24 fighters. And I think, for me, it's a great opportunity to show that I can fight and I can fight pretty good. And I think also that we could talk a lot, but not there...we will see in the ring of September 24 in Atlantic City. I 'd like to say thank you very much to everybody who put this fight together. And we should all come see. Thank you. |
My grandmother always told me: 'If you're a man, it's enough if you look a little bit better than an ape.' |
