would do. ever have that opinion? >> i tell you this, i tell every fighter this, it looks different when you're on the outside. >> oh, yeah it does. >> it looks totally different on the outside. >> i can't hit him, i thought he was right in front of me. >> exactly. >> you must have some opinion about that. you think you can impose your size on him, your youth? >> doesn't really matter. youth now a days doesn't matter. take bernard hopkins for example. >> them party shoerada shoes? >> floyd mayweather spot prada shoes under a steel desk in a dark room. >> at the end of the day, throw down. >> what about the hand speed? >> power is all right. my speed's decent. >> how are you able to beat berto with okay power and decent hand speed? >> i'm a bad ass. >> that's your desire? >> definitely. >> i don't mean to cut you off. the difference between the victory with berto, he looks

tremendous. berto got speed and power, but there's certain angles and certain things that i use that, you know, i break my opponent down. and before you know it, you look up and you say, damn, i'm down on the scorecard, you understand, you may be down 4-0. it may not even go four. just don't know. >> that's what i said too. >> everything you see on outside you say, i can do this, or can land this shot. if you make any mistakes, you have to pay. make any mistakes, you have to pay. >> what was that? >> that's what i'm gonna say about you too. >> yeah. he gotta do what he gotta do september 17th. i've been here before. i know what it takes. it's just another day for me. >> right, it is just another day for him. but it's not for you. can you talk about that? >> no, it's not another day for me, but it is my first time defending my title. i'm going to see to it i keep it just like he did for 15 years.

>> why is that funny to you? >> i mean, heard it before. heard a lot of times. since i'm 19. i'm at the top of the game. it took me a year to become champion. i know what it takes. >> do you wonder what that's going to be like anticipating the spotlight? >> it's not the same. it's not the same. it's not the same. i'm telling you. >> i realize it's in a different world. maybe in a different dimension. but i don't really care. you taught me that. you taught me that as well. >> the same old thing, i don't worry about it. same old thing. make it happen. cut the check. okay, make it happen.

when you look at floyd's confidence, do you think you have that kind of confidence? >> i know i do. if i didn't a year or two ago, i know i do now. after you crush me in the media and everybody else too and took that heart of mine and shoved it

where the sun don't shine, finally broke me to point where i stopped caring. >> do you have to have don't care attitude against floyd? >> definitely. >> how will you deal with the fact he is a southpaw? we've seen you get hit more than we're used to seeing you get hit against southpaws. against some guys who don't seem like they're in your league. here's a southpaw with real hand speed and punching power. >> well, it comes with the territory, what else can i say? true champion take a shot and bounce back. >> your last fight, every moment of the fight, had shane moseley. except for one in the second round. help caught you with the right hand. shake you up? >> i still was coming forward. >> did it shake you up? >> yeah, it was a good shot. >> do you worry -- >> know what i told shane? it was a good shot but you gotta kill me, i'ma keep coming. i don't worry about no opponent that's fast. i don't worry about no opponent that's a southpaw.
