The Velez fight wasn't my best.
I have always boxed better with a bit of nerves.
My performance against Ruiz was a good one - there were plenty of knockdowns, excitement, and drama.
I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing.
We'd always said boxers shouldn't lift weights. Now I realize some champion boxer started that rumor. I noticed if I did weights a couple of times a week, I would be able to hit that jab a lot longer. After sparring, everybody's gone, and I sneak into the weight room. Spend 40 minutes in there lifting weights.
Boxers put themselves on the line, they put their lives at risk, so it's up to the boxers to make sure they are healthy and sharp because we are giving the public what they want to see.
Jessie Vargas is not as good as those guys I lost to.
Carl Froch never really does too well away from home and he is very settled and comfortable in Nottingham.
I could also lose to lesser fighters than David Haye, based on the fact that styles make fights.
A lot of people were wondering how I'd perform against a big, tall, rugged fighter like Jeff Horn. I think I handled it with an A-plus.
My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.
Whenever the Klitschkos pick opponents who punch back, things go pear-shaped for them.
From what I hear is happening, young Indian boxers have started to do well on the world stage and started to gain the attention of the general audience.
Boxing is not a sport where you can be at a low level at all.
I have to have an adjustment before I go into the ring. I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. The majority of boxers go to get that edge.
Boxing is a hurt game if you can't be at your best, can't be 100 per cent mentally and physically switched on to performing, to win titles, defend titles, defend yourself in the correct fashion, then I don't think you should fight.
Floyd Mayweather is in the sport to give great performances.
During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali. You just saw a little boxing and a little showmanship. It was after I retired from boxing that my true work began.
I hope Gamboa brings the best out of me so that people can see that I'm not just a power puncher.
I just look for another spectacular fight, another spectacular one-sided performance.
The best boxers don't always qualify for the Olympics. You can easily have a bad day, but please God, that won't happen to me.
Just because I get in trouble or into a situation outside of boxing, don't let that make your statement on my boxing.
I think ring rust is an excuse people use when they don't box well.
