He was competitive in every fight and brought his best every time out, so I have nothing personal against Froch. I actually like him a lot because he reminds me a lot of myself with his competitiveness. ”

It's not all the time, but you get a sense when you're reading something that it's no longer about boxing or the performance. It's personal. ”

I talk to amateurs, up-and-coming guys, fighters older than me, and we compare notes to teach each other how to leave this game on top from a legacy and financial standpoint. ”

My legacy is almost like a personal challenge to go as far as I can go. ”

My legacy is so, so important to me. ”
