“He showed tremendous heart in his fight with Lennox Lewis, and he did show desire, ... He proved he was a champion. I really respect this man. I really feel like he can hurt me if I come with any less than my A-plus game.”
“[At the announcement, Rahman came to the podium wearing a chef's hat and holding a tray of food.] I just had some chicken Kiev prepared for him, because I am so happy he's not chicken anymore, ... We're finally getting in the ring. I'm glad he's all healed up. I just hope and pray he doesn't stub his toe or prick his finger before November 12th.”
“I suspect that. I saw him a week after the alleged injuries and he's walking around like he is today, ... I know one thing -- he won't be faking it November 12th.”
“I've been working and working for this fight. This is the end of the road for me if I can't beat Klitschko. If that happens, I'll congratulate the man and move on to another chapter in my life.”
