Everything rides on Dec. 3. This fight is important because that's where Bernard Hopkins will show that anyone who went through the minefield again with him is in trouble.

Understand that I'm at my best when it comes to proving a point, not only to show that I'm a better fighter and a better athlete at 40 years old, but I'm at my best when I know I've got to beat the system again.
