Bernard Hopkins, tonight, around the world and, I think, in person - one month shy of being 41 - put on a 12-round exhibition. I don't have to be ashamed of what happened tonight. Just to be competitive respectfully at this level, I believe, that y'all will respect me for my performance tonight.

I want to see him get that world championship belt before this year is out.

I'll be in New York Monday to talk about that with HBO. Then you can stick a fork in me. I have one fight left in me.

There is no better way to introduce our company to the area than to have a Philadelphia fighter like Demetrius represent us.

I'm lining up my troops to go to battle with.

I'm lining up my troops to go to battle with. Tarver is the man at light heavyweight. He has the credibility of the fans and media, and that's what counts. That's why I am taking this risk, but I am taking it by preparing myself with good people.

I am going in there to win this fight. I don't think people are taking me seriously. I'm gonna surprise a lot of people. This guy helped two people make history.

I didn't know Mackie, but thank God I've got a great publicist who knew him from the Bowe days. His track record speaks for itself. The work he did with fighters like Michael Spinks and Roy Jones and Riddick Bowe helped them win. If anyone could get Bowe in shape, that's credibility.

John said he was there for me and that he could tell me a lot about Tarver. I said, 'Are you serious?' He said he would even get in the ring with me and spar some if I wanted. He said he could still go 15 rounds. He was one of my defenses and he could have had an attitude about it, but he respects my longevity in the game. He understands because we trained so hard in the gym together all those years.

The thing that most people don't understand is that I don't believe I lost the last two fights, which is why I am coming in a confident fighter. Tarver says I am fighting him for one more payday, but what Tarver don't realize is that I could have picked anyone to fight and still gone out making millions of dollars. But I chose to fight Antonio Tarver because, like I have said many times, I want to do what my boxing idol, Sugar Ray Robinson, couldn't do, and that's win the light heavyweight championship.

I function better when my back is to the wall.

Anybody who thinks I'm taking this fight for a paycheck doesn't know me. My whole life I've been achieving the impossible.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from -- the penitentiary.

It's going to be a challenge, I understand that. But I don't fear it.

I function better as an underdog in everything I do in life, with my back against the wall. That's why I hold on to [my] past.
