coming fans forward grow mentally move percent physically ready rebuilding relaxing taking toward until
I don't want to move forward until I'm 110 percent mentally and physically. I know my fans want me to move on, and I'm working toward that, but if I'm not ready mentally and physically ready, I won't. I need to grow from this. I'm at my rebuilding stage. It's about me taking time, relaxing and then coming out and doing what I have to do to rebuild.

He's not a fighter I can overlook at all. He was able to knock out Omar Sheika, a guy who I couldn't knockout, ... Sure, I wanted Calzaghe, but Scott Pemberton is a really good fighter.

You know I like that fight and I'm confident of walking away with two super-middleweight titles

I don't think that's the case, it wasn't the real me in that fight. We'll find out when I return in October.
cool duck earned everybody exciting fight forward guy looking ring wants
That's one fight that I'm looking forward to happening. I've always told you I'm not going to duck Scott, he's earned his right. I like Scott and I think he's a cool guy but when we get in the ring it's going to be a fight and it's going to be an exciting fight. I think it's the kind of fight that everybody wants to see.

I took his best shots and he couldn't take mine. That was the difference of the fight. I get stronger as the fight goes on; he was getting weaker.

It's like driving. You either get in an accident or you don't.
box continued fight fought november took
Exactly! And that's why I continued to go on with my career. I continued to box and I fought when I had to do. I think he took this fight to get out of the fight with me on November 5.
anyone fought
I think it's going to take its toll. I see a lot of weaknesses. He hasn't fought anyone like me.

Jim has never taken a dime from either one us, ... In fact, he's given us more money than we could ever give back. He's a great guy. You couldn't ask for a better person.

I don't buy that injury for a minute. He's just ducking me to get out of the fight,
best either fans fight fights happy huge light love meet move wants willing winner
Of course! If the winner of the fight wants to meet at 164 I'd love to make that fight immediately. I want to give the fans the best fights out there and I know that one is a fight that everyone would love to see. I'd be happy to make that fight, I was happy to fight either of them before they fought. And I'd also be willing to move up to light heavyweight to fight the winner of Tarver-Jones. That fight would be HUGE in Florida.
