As a man, I have no problem saying I was hurt.

The part that sickens me about boxing is guys fight their whole careers and they have nothing to show for it. That's not going to be my testimony. When it's time to get out of the game, I want to be able to walk away. I'm not going to jeopardize my health. I will have no problems walking away.

That's what makes a fighter. I got dropped and I got back up, and I found a way to get the win.

I don't abuse my body, I've been off 10 months, I still train and I'm always thinking about boxing, so I felt like I would be fine and I just wanted to challenge myself against another top caliber fighter.

I think Bute would have to face off with the Super Six Champion to prove that he's the best Super Middleweight. You come out of a tournament like this on top, that demands a lot of respect and carries a lot of weight.

I told myself that I'll do everything within my power to never let that happen again.

A lot of people look for you to change. Everything has stayed the same. Financially, this is God's money, and my wife and I are just stewards of it.

In the school of boxing that I come from, that's frowned upon, giving up free shots, cos we know what those kinda shots do to a man's career, regardless of whether it shows up now, or shows up when you least need it. It takes a toll.

The way my father raised me, we don't pat ourselves on the back. We don't call ourselves great, we let other people do that.

I'm not going to say that I'm the best, we respect our champions. Floyd's been doing this a lot longer than me, he's been a lot of mega fights and I won't dare say that I'm better than Floyd Mayweather.

What you gotta understand is, in this conversation and in our fight, you're not in control.

This fight should be dubbed, 'No Excuses.' If Carl Froch beats me, there won't be any excuses. I beat Carl Froch, there shouldn't be any excuses. No judges, no referees, no nothing. May the best man win.

The road I've taken to this point has not been easy. Being back on HBO is a big thing, but fighting on HBO in my hometown is huge. To be great you have to fight the best. Chad has beaten the best so these are the type fights I want to take. I will put on a great show for all the fans that come out to Oracle Arena.
