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.

I can't make it doing anything else, the amount of money. Obviously, anybody can go to work and make money, but the paycheck I make boxing, I'm not going to make anywhere else.

I have always admired Zab's skills, and his resume speaks for itself.

They put everything that's wrong with boxing in one room, did everything that's wrong with boxing in that room, and gave birth to Adrien Broner.

Linares is one of those fighters that always oozes quality and class.

Kevin Johnson is the kind of guy that gives guys trouble. He gives a lot of guys trouble. He gave Vitali Klitschko trouble.

I'm telling you, Amir Khan gives Floyd Mayweather problems.

It is tougher to control range on a guy who is as tall, lengthy, and busy as Amir Khan, who has a very good jab.

Range control is a big part of Floyd Mayweather's arsenal.

American fight fans are in tune to Joshua because they know what he's done, especially to Klitschko, and there is nothing not to like about him.

I do think Wilder can be a household name in America. He is a good fighter, and he has knockout power and has knockout potential, which is what you need as a heavyweight.

UFC has unbelievable fans, and boxing has unbelievable fans.

Sometimes when you get older, you need to tone down the trash talking, and sometimes you need younger fighters to bring it out of you.

You've got to be really hurt to stop a fight, especially to stop a championship fight.

Preparation in Miami is always good because of the weather.
