Lamon Brewster Quotations

Luan is a good fighter who landed many good shots against me. I want to be thee world champion, not just a United States champion and I proved it tonight by coming to Germany and defeating a game challenger. I always fight from will, not always from skill.

I am a fair fighter, and I want to fight fair. If you can beat me, hey, I'll be the first to shake your hand but don't cheat me. Don't take what I worked so hard for if you don't deserve it. It really hurt me that they tried to do that to me. I hope every boxing fan in the world sees what that referee tried to do to me and if they do I think he'll never be allowed near a boxing ring again. He has no place in the boxing game.

I always said I would fight a man in his living room and now I am getting to prove that,

I was leery, skeptical, but the more I thought about it, the title says 'world' champion, ... What made Muhammad Ali great is he fought all over the world, putting his name out there, stepping out, standing strong.

I would think it would end in my favor. I just hope that people will look at those fights and then compare them to my fights and make up their mind about whether they still underestimate or doubt me.

Whoever you think can beat me, just put them in front of me and ring the bell. I talk with my fists.

But I wasn't thinking about winning rounds. I was thinking about chopping him down. I knew even before I got there that I could not allow this to go to points. So we never developed no strategy to win this on points because we knew that would be impossible. I knew if he threw one punch a round and I threw a million I knew I would still lose the fight so we developed strategies to knock him out.

You earned it, baby. We both deserve to be at the top, but you won.

I should get credit for two knockouts because I knocked him out twice.

Schmeling was a great hero and he was a great benefactor, ... But on Wednesday it comes down to who wants it most. It's not about the title. It's about the life of my family.

It's an honor fighting on his birthday, because of what he did for my idol, my hero, Joe Louis,

It nearly cost me my title, ... I was exhausted from throwing the punches that (should have) knocked him out. I gave my best effort to knock him out and I did that. Then, when the fight should be over, I've got to find the effort to do that all over again after he gets 70, 80 seconds rest! That wasn't right and I was very concerned for my title at that point.

I want to give applause to Hamburg and the German people for being so wonderful to me during my visit. I will never forget my time here.

It was just my willpower, my determination. I had to wait a long time,

I'm not bragging on myself but I think I can go to anywhere in the world and that my talent and with god with me, I can overcome anything.

I heard that he said something like that, ... In the ring, it's only me and (Krasniqi). My trainer told me to let my fists be the judges.

I felt that after the Meehan fight, which was difficult for me for a number of reasons, I had to make a statement with Golota. And I did that.

Andrew Golota was the only thing keeping me from the land of milk and honey, ... I've got more than just heart. I've got skills. I was an F-16, and he was a B-52 Bomber. And I shot him down.
