I always wanted to be a world champion, all my life. At 13, I told my mom I would be a world champion.

Al Haymon, one thing I can say about him, is he is a very honest guy. Very honest. He don't sell dreams, he makes dreams come true. And that's what he did for me.

It's a huge deal to have the chance to be a four-division world champion at 26 years old.

I came from nothing and I have a chance to do something that happens once in a lifetime. There are only a couple people who can wake up and say that they're a world champion, a multimillionaire, and a successful superstar.

I'm thankful God really slowed me down and showed me, whatever he had gave to me, he can take it away.

At six years old, I told my dad that I would be world champion, and on Nov. 26, 2011, I am.

You gotta have some flash. Being a nice guy is cool and all, but to really make it in this game, you bring that extra quality.
