“I want to be the undisputed champion of the world.”
“I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys, and now I'm fighting in front of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones.”
“I don't think there's any extra pressure fighting in my hometown. It's just added motivation. Real pressure was fighting against 30,000 fans in the champion's hometown for my first title against Kell Brook.”
“Mexican fighters have a great tradition. They come to fight, and they don't back down.”
“Shawn Porter is a good fighter, but he hasn't accomplished nearly as much as Danny Garcia has accomplished or beat the fighters who he has beat.”
“The Dallas rap scene is growing, and hopefully we get to a level like Houston - everybody supporting each other, building each other up to be great.”
“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.”
“Once I get an opponent, I'm locked into him.”
“When I become the undisputed champion of the world, then I'll move up to 154.”
“I still have to unify my division and basically become the undefeated welterweight champion of the world. I can't lose. It is more added pressure, but it does make me work harder and keeps me more focused.”
“Terence Crawford being across the street - I can't promise it's going to happen this year, but it's going to happen.”
“I just look for another spectacular fight, another spectacular one-sided performance.”
“I want to fight every opponent and take them out, no matter who it is. I'm here to prove I'm the best in the division.”
“Of course I would want the knockout, but with me, I just look for, you know, a spectacular performance. It's like, walk them down, or go for the knockout. You know, hopefully I get the knockout.”
“I want Keith Thurman. He has two of the belts, and we both have big names. It's an easy fight to make, and I want it.”
“I'm a boxing fan. I've seen Kell Brook fight. I'm not one of those boxers who says he doesn't watch other guys fight or follow the sport. I do.”
“My dad and uncles listened to a lot of rap. My dad is a big fan of LL Cool J. Driving in the car with him, we'd listen to Jay-Z and Nas. My sister listened to a lot of No Limit, so I listened to Master P. and Cash Money - Lil Wayne and Juvenile. They had jewelry and nice cars. I was drawn to them.”
“I am ready for a title unification fight with Keith Thurman and hope to be ready before too long for a move up to light-middleweight to meet Canelo Alvarez.”
“It's just my character, naturally. I don't really talk that much. It's just who I am. I just back it up in the ring. There is no need to talk... I'm not the guy who rambles.”
“We have to keep winning and looking good and keep fighting the best competition out there.”
