Shawn Porter

“I'm always ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.”

“I don't consider my fights as auditions, I consider them performances.”

“I'm not concerned about Kell Brook. People were asking me about his power, and I don't have much to say about that other than that I haven't seen anything on film that makes him different from anybody else.”

“I'm not a champion by accident.”

“I have school planned out in my mind, and I know it's going to work. My dad wants us to wake up every morning with intent. I know he's going to cry when I graduate.”

“I'm aggressive and I'm strong, and guys can't handle it.”

“My mindset is to stay healthy, continue getting into the ring with the best guys in the world and putting on the best performances.”

“I know people have won money on me before. And it wasn't because I was the guy expected to win.”

“I'm always going to be a problem for whoever is standing across from me.”

“I've learned you have to pay attention and stick with the game plan.”

“I've learned a lot about how to not be held and how to get guys off of you.”

“The only thing that I know is, 'Who's the target, who's the best? Go get him.'”

“I'm not going to be a gatekeeper. You would look at the four losses and assume, 'Well, he could be a gatekeeper now.' It's not the life that I want to live.”

“This is a dangerous sport because if you aren't ready, it will all show up in the ring.”

“One of the guys I admire in this sport is Andre Ward... I kind of hang on to every word that Dre says. I really admire him and everything he's been through in this sport.”

“Any legendary fighter you have ever seen or anyone who is talked about for a long, long time who has shown their heart in the ring and won over crowds and really destroyed their opponents in the ring, that's who I am.”

“Losing is never part of my thought process.”

“Guys can't handle my aggressive attack.”

“I have everything it takes to make each fight exciting when I step into the ring.”

“My saying is to 'Ride until the wheels fall off.'”
