Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. Rocky Marciano is second only to Louis. Where do I rate Ali? Somewhere below me. I beat him, and if I could beat him, no doubt Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano could have beaten him.
The lightweight title will be mine, but I'm looking for multiples and I am looking for that best pound for pound spot.
I don't care about no boxing legacy. I don't care where they put me on the list of all-time greats - let them put me at the bottom.
I just feel that all the top fighters in the world are making all the money.
Listen, anyone in the heavyweight division in the top ten, there is no easy fight. I don't care what you say.
I'm chasing belts. I'm highly ranked, and after I beat Chisora, I should be No. 1 with at least four of the governing bodies.
It would clearly revolutionise boxing if we could have a tournament in every division.
If I can't get a unification fight, then there's other tops names, even though they haven't got a world title, ie Golovkins, stuff like that.
After you win all these belts, you cannot fight all these mandatory guys.
Being recognized as the pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter is my ultimate dream.
My career does not depend on AJ. He's got four of the belts, but if I'm mandatory for one or two of them and he doesn't fight me, they will strip him at some point.
If a guy isn't in a position to fight for a world title, or if he's not in a place where I can intercept his road to the title, don't offer him to me. I'm not in this to just fight guys for the sake of fighting. I'm not in this to make friends with the people who work in the organization.
I do think I'm the best lightweight in the world.
One of my favourite fighters was Lennox Lewis - he got out at number one. A fight with the winner of the Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua fight would put me at number one.
When people talk about the lightweight division they will probably mention my name a little bit. Whether they believe I don't deserve to be up there or I do, they are at least going to mention me.
I'm trying to be the best in the world and get that pound-for-pound spot and I'm trying to get paid.
No disrespect to Ugas. He's a great fighter, and he's ranked in the IBF, so I'm gonna have to fight him. But, you know, I'm looking to build my legacy and me beating Ugas is not gonna get me anywhere.
I don't even want to fight Pacquiao now because Pacquiao fought Jessie Vargas, Chris Algieri, Jeff Horn... They were talking that Terence Crawford wasn't a worthy enough name for Pacquiao. Why are those guys worthy when a fight with me and him would've been bigger than any of those?
How am I one of the biggest fighters in the world and I get bigger paychecks outside of boxing?
Rankings don't mean much to me but I'm working towards being the pound-for-pound best in everyone's mind.
