Paulie Malignaggi

In fights when I've had the odds stacked against me, I definitely perform better because it's like a challenge to me - and I always like a challenge.

Sometimes it's kind of strange, and it's definitely something I have to work on in the future, but when I'm big favourite in fights, it's almost like I try too hard and try to force things to happen. That always seems to take a bad turn and makes my performance look bad, even if I win.

You can be taught so much, but the sense of anticipation cannot be taught.

A lot of people in barber shops all over Brooklyn talk about Paulie Malignaggi v. Zab Judah.

We both do a lot of similar things with speed and boxing ability, but I think I've got some tricks up my sleeve for Zab. Zab will probably tell you he's got some tricks up his sleeve for me.

I don't really have the desire, as far as love of the game. It's more about the paycheck I can make.
