"A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao's age will be a factor, but I'm not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I'm just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, I will be victorious.
"We're ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I've always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I'm bringing that mentality into the ring.
"I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don't bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.
"I've always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.
"Once that bell rings, I'll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don't have anything I want to go out and prove. It's just about winning. That will say everything."
