Just swerve Golovkin like the plague. He punches like a mule. I don't need to be in with him. Dangerous fight.
I was prepared to get knocked out myself trying to knock him out, because then I could sleep at night knowing that I've given my best.
The referee jumped in too late in my opinion. He's the champion and he's got to be given every chance, but a lot of people was wincing and cringing seeing the finish cos his head is bouncing all over the place.
I knew it was all or nothing.
Your longevity in the sport is governed by how you live in between the fights.
He was WBC champion, I was mandatory. He had his opportunity to earn big money and defend against me, and he chose not to. It's as simple as that. He did not want to fight 'The Cobra', cos he knew he was probably going to get one of these (his fists) on the chin and it was going to be all over.
Some people have a team of ten people - Waste of money, waste of time. I do it on my own when I'm in the ring.
He knows I'm brutal. He's knows I can punch hard. He knows if I connect on his chin, at any one moment, 12 three minute rounds, he's going to be in serious trouble. If he's not on the floor, his legs will do a funny dance.
He's got a rematch clause in his contract but I'm not sure if he's going to want to exercise that rematch but if he does, I'd happily oblige. I'll go over to Canada and give him another whooping.
Boxers are going away and not getting decisions and are losing, so it's not looking good for us, is it, as a nation? Thanks for pointing that out. It's put even more pressure on me now. I don't mind that at all. I love pressure.
It is satisfying following such an emphatic victory over the current unbeaten champion (Lucian Bute) to know that there's a lot of people eating humble pie.
It's only boxing, don't worry about it. Let's get it on!
I've got no interest in going over to California to fight that boring git, in a fight that no one's interested in, and that's the reason why he's trying to pimp himself out everywhere.
Joe Calzaghe was using the excuse, no one knows who I am in America. Now everyone knows who I am in America.
I'm personally not a Muhammad Ali fan.
You've got to be careful against classy fighters, especially counter-punchers because if you go for the finish too early, you can end up getting finished yourself.
It's not Beirut or Bosnia.
Ricky Hatton would knock Khan out. 5 years ago or now.
I haven't had the recognition I deserve, You can go back to anybody's career - Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, David Haye, Amir Khan, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Steve Collins, Naseem Hamed. My record is better than all of theirs.
He was fortunate to fight me on a bad night because if he fights me when I'm firing on all cylinders, he's getting battered as well.
I've worked in pubs for years and you get people challenging you. Challenging your masculinity.
Bute coming over here is a big mistake.
My first fight was a little weasel from American called Andre Dirrell. I say that because he runs and holds, and I hope Abraham bangs him out.
I've got no aspirations to become an A-list celebrity.
Somebody thinking that they can make noise intimidate me is comical.
