“Tony Harrison is not on my level.”
“Always having that one-minute tag and always knowing that my brother was one minute older than me, it always made life much more competitive.”
“Knowing my brother is also fighting gives me more energy.”
“It's always been something like that growing up, knowing I wanted to be the best. And my brother considers himself the best, I consider myself the best.”
“I take care of my positions when they come.”
“2020 is going to be real. It's going to get loud.”
“I've been in there with, to me, some top-tier guys, and so has Trout. You can't take that away from him at all. He's fought all of the top guys, everybody.”
“I am a dog in the sport.”
“I've fought a lot of prospects.”
“We live and die by Lions Only because not too many people can go through the struggle of life the way my brother and I have and still be on top and make it as far as we are making it right now.”
“This sport is serious.”
“When I fought in the amateurs and fought New York guys, they had a different swag, a different style, and maybe they didn't take a liking to Texas fighters to begin with.”
“I have the old-school mentality.”
“It's so important for me to bring a world title back to Houston.”
“I am one of the hardest-hitting light-middleweights they've had for centuries.”
“Just leave me alone at 154. I'm the man.”
“We're tired of hearing the media say to put the Charlo's in there with better competition. I've heard that every fight. As long as I'm winning fights and I'm entertaining the fans, that's what I'm going to do.”
“I'm proud of what my brother has done. His success motivates me. He's a world champion.”
“My father cut the umbilical cord for my son, because I wasn't actually there.”
“I have to continue to be different and stand my ground in this division until I'm done at 154 pounds.”
