Dominick is a good fighter, and he was the only one who stepped up and was willing to fight me, ... I'm not looking past him. I wish the fight was tomorrow because I'm ready to go. |
I |
I didn't run from the situation. I didn't hide the ordeal from the reporters like the sissy baseball players. I fought it head-on. … We dealt with it. It's over. And now we're moving on. |
I don't need a belt to make me. I make the belt, ... I feel great and that's all that matters. I'm still heavyweight champion of the world. |
I don't need a belt to make me. I make the belt. I feel great and that's all that matters. I'm still heavyweight champion of the world. |
I give myself a B minus. My right hand is a little sluggish. You have not seen the best of me. I want to fight again next month. |
I have always been ready to fight anybody out there, any time, anywhere. I will knock them all over. My talent speaks for itself. |
I promise you I will be better in my next fight, ... I want to be a fighting champion, a great champion. |
I thought about it for a little bit. You know what? It does not matter. I did it. I beat him. I beat Ruiz. |
I thought I won it by two or three points. I thought we had the edge. |
I was not thinking about the stuff still being in my system. But I can't look at the past. It was my fault. I wanted Ruiz. So I don't blame anybody but myself. Bottom line. |
I'm going to destroy him. I'm going to show everybody. I'm going to knock Hasim right out. I am the best fighter in the world, pound-for-pound. |
I'm not going nowhere. I'm going to stand right in front of him. When he hits me, he's going to say, 'Damn, why didn't anything happen to him?' I hope he keeps his promise. Bring the pain to me because I'll be willing to accept it. |
I'm not gonna box Ruiz, ... I don't box, I knock holes through people. I'm gonna cut Ruiz up. I'm gonna butcher him. He ain't gonna last five rounds. Either he winds up on the canvas or in the hospital. It's his choice. |
