"I feel comfortable fighting in the Dominican or anywhere else," Rosales said from training camp in New York City. "I just love fighting. I haven't fought in six month and need a good tune-up. After this fight I'll be more active and I'd love to get a shot at Rocky Juarez. He's had his tune-up and I'm having mine. "I'm rated No. 4 (WBC) and he's No. 5. It will be a very interesting fight. Then I'd like Humberto Soto before I become the 'Philippino Destroyer.' They call Manny Pacquiao the "Mexican Destroyer." I want to beat his brother, Bobby, first and then him. The I'll be the one and only 'Philippino Destroyer.' "Growing up in Mexico I idolized Julio Cesar Chavez. I used to be a typical Mexican brawler but now I'm a boxer and brawler, a mix between Chavez and Marco Antonio Barrera, another one of my idols. I'm using my jab and moving a lot more, but what I really like to do is bang the body. I love smacking my opponent's body."
