You're only as good as your last fight. Come (tonight), Saturday and Sunday I'll be looked at differently.

m the future champion of the world. I think the Americans want to see me in a test but what they don't realize is, when I get in there with these guys that peole want to see me fight, I'm going to deal with them as I have my first 19 opponents. Hopefully that will satisfy them, and if it doesn't I'll have the belts around my waist to satisfy them. My mission will not be finished until I have the belts wrapped around my waist. I'm here to stay!

There is no more grooming to become Heavyweight Champion, my time is now and I'm ready to take over the heavyweight division,

If I can't beat Danny then I'm not where I'm supposed to be.

Yes. And I believe there's no comparison. We tried to get Brock for the last fight, we tried to get Brock for this fight and it's plain to see that his people are not interested in fighting me. I don't care what they say, they'd prefer to keep him away from people like me. Even though they've got no TV dates coming up, they'd prefer for him to fight a Kenny Craven or a David Bostice somewhere off TV. The bottom line is, they don't want to take the risk with me. I'm a big risk to any of those guys above me and they don't want to take that risk. Shannon Briggs? I don't think I should even respond to anything Shannon Briggs had to say. I don't have anything personal against the guy. He's ranked in the WBC#13 and I'm ranked #14. All that stuff he was saying to Boxingtalk the other day, the bottom line is, he don't want to fight. And that's basically he what he admitted. He'd prefer to fight Vinny Maddalone over me. Jameel stepped up and now we're going to focus on Jameel.

The thing is, people say, 'who's he fighting? He's fighting a nobody.' My thing is whoever I fight my style will make the fight look one-sided. I'm hopeful that McCline is going to come in and fight. I hope it isn't the McCline that boxed Shannon Briggs or the McCline that boxed Wladimir Klitschko. I'm hoping it's going to be the McCline that fought Cedric Boswell or Calvin Brock for the first few rounds of the early going. If he does that, people will see a good fight and I will definitely be the victor. Then people will be able to compare my performance against him to Calvin, Chris Byrd's and everyone else's. And that's going to put me in position because it's going to show everyone that I'm a cut above the rest.
