He knows when he fights me, along with the whipping comes a little trash-talking. I know one thing ? he won't be faking it November 12th.

I've been working and working for this fight. This is the end of the road for me if I can't beat Klitschko. If that happens, I'll congratulate the man and move on to another chapter in my life.

He showed tremendous heart in his fight with Lennox Lewis, and he did show desire, ... He proved he was a champion. I really respect this man. I really feel like he can hurt me if I come with any less than my A-plus game.

I suspect that. I saw him a week after the alleged injuries and he's walking around like he is today, ... I know one thing -- he won't be faking it November 12th.

[At the announcement, Rahman came to the podium wearing a chef's hat and holding a tray of food.] I just had some chicken Kiev prepared for him, because I am so happy he's not chicken anymore, ... We're finally getting in the ring. I'm glad he's all healed up. I just hope and pray he doesn't stub his toe or prick his finger before November 12th.
