On Canelo avoiding him:
“If he says he can beat me why not come beat me and make the biggest bank possible?”

“I want to give myself the hardest fights I could possibly give myself because I want to get myself in the head space where I’m used to that.”

On his career goals:
“I’m just trying to reach greatness, and I really want to be the best fighter, by the time I’m done, in my era. I want to be the best of my generation.”
