On whether he feels he needs to fight Sergio Martinez to feel like the true champion based on the way Martinez was stripped of the title:

“I feel that I’m Ready for Any Fighter. I WANT To Fight SERGIO MARTINEZ. I Want To Fight Kelly Pavlik or AnyBody in the CAtegory that will Want to Fight Me. I’m Ready for AnyBody and I Really Hope I can fight on HBO and impress my fans again. I hope that I made an impression.”
