He tried to push me and shove me, and I was trying to keep myself away because he was so heavy. That fight showed that I'm a very strong welterweight.
I wish I would have knocked him out but I'll take the win. I feel like I'm definitely at the top now. I'll fight anybody, (Antonio) Margarito (Zab) Judah.

I'm thrilled to be fighting Fernando Vargas and once again proving that I'm the superior fighter. To me, there was no controversy about our first fight because one look at his face showed who the winner was. I stopped him once, and I'll do it again.
The fight I want is against Floyd Mayweather. He is the best out there.
This fight is very special to me because I want to bring back the old style. I think Fernando has a lot to prove.
The motivation is fighting the right fight. The type of fight I know I can fight. That's the motivation and showing the people the way Sugar Shane really fights.
Canelo is a good young fighter, but he probably shouldn't be in the ring with me. It should have been somebody else. Hopefully he can learn from it and become a better fighter. He seems like a good young kid.
Canelo wants to test himself and see if he is among the elite fighters. This is a golden opportunity for me, so I'm very, very happy.
