You're either good at boxing, or you're not.
My parents brought me up to speak the way I speak, to hold my head up high, to know wrong from right and to have manners.
I made a prediction when I was 11 that I would be world champion by the time I was 21, and I did it.
In Arabic, 'Naseem' means a gentle breeze. But inside the guy's a monster.
My mother asks me what round I'd like to win in, and she prays for that.
I don't need to concentrate or meditate before a fight. I'm the kind of guy who'll be having a laugh in the dressing room 10 minutes before the fight - that's me.
My heart was bursting with pride the night I fought Steve Robinson in Wales, and I made the champion look like the challenger.
I'm going to take Barrera out in devastating style with unbelievably hard shots. He's tailor-made for me, and I will fit him with a suit to wear on the canvas.
Being a fighter is no joke. Year in and year out. Especially as a world champion. All eyes are on you, and you can't go where you want, eat what you want.
When I win, I send shock waves through the boxing world.
I am not into guys who powder-puff punch and run round the ring for 12 rounds. I'm into guys that want to shock the world with devastating power.
GGG is a great fighter, but he hasn't got the ability that Kell has - Brook is the far superior boxer.
I'm not selfish before a fight or afterwards, but for the time of the fight itself, I have to think totally of myself.
I agree that some of my performances in America, apart from having drama and excitement, have been a little under my estimation for performance.
You can't duplicate me. A lot of fighters come out with a certain amount of style, and I like to see that, but they get smashed up a little bit.
It doesn't mean much to me if I'm behind or not in a fight; the fact is that I hold these guns in my right and left hands.
I'm sure there are talented Arab fighters out there waiting to be discovered.
Thing is - I'm easily imitated, never duplicated.
I could never say that fear really gets to me. I'm not one of those fighters like Nigel Benn who says, 'I thrive on fear.' I walk through fear.
Getting beaten is sometimes a good thing. If you're a positive person, you can turn it around and make it into a good thing.
