Once you're inside the ring, a fight is a fight. Fans can't fight for you, the hometown crowd can't fight for you.
I respect every opponent no matter their record, no matter their title belts. I approach each opponent the same way.
Every boxer is tough for me. I don't think any opponent is better than any other. Every opponent is the same for me.
I always feel like I'm in the best shape of my life for every fight I'm in.
I think the media, the boxing public hasn't seen me at my best simply because great opposition brings out the best in you.
I'm confident you haven't seen the best yet. And I will only get better through time and through tougher competition.
(You know) you're improving from fight to fight (when you can) showcase your talents against greater opponents every time.
