I didn&rsquo;t like how my body looked in my last few fights. My body wasn&rsquo;t cut up and strong as it usually looked. I felt like I just needed a change. We worked on different things, different muscles, more explosive stuff. I felt like my body feels a lot stronger now. &#8230; I feel like I built more muscle, too, that&rsquo;s why it was a little bit harder for me to lose the weight. But I definitely feel strong.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On how hard it is getting older and cutting weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;On a scale of one to 10, that shit&rsquo;s, like, a nine. 140 was a 10. When I fought 140, that was a 10. This is a nine, just because I got seven more pounds. &#8230; These last three days I&rsquo;ve been eating real light. I usually eat small portions of food, small piece of fish, some carrots, that&rsquo;s it. Yesterday I ate an orange and drank a half a cup of coffee and I gained a pound. I was, like, fuck!

I&rsquo;ll just spit in the morning or something, I&rsquo;ll be 147 on the dot.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On how much longer he&rsquo;ll be at 147<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Two more big fights. Two more good fights, and then I&rsquo;m going to 154. If you really think about it, of course I gotta get this victory on Saturday. There&rsquo;s only a couple more people for me to fight at 147, and if I don&rsquo;t fight them at 147, I can fight them at 154, because they&rsquo;re obviously gonna move up one day. Porter and Thurman, I already fought them. So, what, it&rsquo;s a Pacquiao or a Spence fight, those are probably the only other two fights at 147. Or I could rematch Porter or Thurman, but I think those could be fights at 154 one day. So two more fights after this.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On facing Charlo, Hurd or Lara at 154<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Man, Charlo and Hurd are too damn big. They should be at 160. They big dudes, man! I&rsquo;m cool, I&rsquo;ll fight somebody else. Nah, I&rsquo;ll fight anybody. If they ask if I wanna fight those guys for the belt, I&rsquo;ll go up and fight them, but that&rsquo;s not my plan.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Crawford vs Khan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Skill-wise, I think it&rsquo;s a good fight. People are only interested in how long Khan&rsquo;s gonna last, because he obviously can&rsquo;t take a good punch. This is not a secret. But he&rsquo;s good at fighting southpaws. Like, he destroyed Zab Judah, Devon Alexander he made easy work. I don&rsquo;t think Crawford&rsquo;s southpaw style will be an advantage. I think that&rsquo;s been a key in his career. I think Crawford&rsquo;s gonna be more right-handed this fight. I think it&rsquo;s a 50-50 fight until a good shot lands. Khan has the style to beat him &mdash; hit him, move.
