Canelo's the big name, but I am the champion going in... I took this fight. I'm not in a situation where I have nothing to lose in this fight. I've got a title to lose.

Canelo isn't a full light-middleweight like I am, and that's to my advantage.

From my point of view, I am the underdog going into this fight. I'm not saying I'm not. But I'm the underdog because I haven't fought at that level yet against anyone of Canelo's level.

Canelo's going to have his moments. I'm not saying he's not. But I'm going to have my moments. It will come down to who can finish off their moments and finish the fight the best.

I'm an aggressive fighter, but I'm smart. I'm not going to play stupid.

I want to be like a Muhammad Ali, like a Julio Cesar Chavez. So when people talk about boxing, they have to remember Canelo.

I'm not going to say I'm not ready for a fighter like Canelo Alvarez.

I thought boxing was stupid.

I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.

I really don't care who I fight.
