Julius Stecker: When is your next fight going to be Robert?
Robert Allen: Not Certain
Julius Stecker: You are on a 12 fight win streak, do you think right now you are in your prime?
Robert Allen: No, I don't believe in prime, I am hungry
Julius Stecker: Everywhere you look, you read news reports about Hopkins-Joppy, and they always seem to leave you out of the equation, does that effect you at all?
Robert Allen: They always knock me out of the equation, so I am used to it, it doesn't really bother me
Julius Stecker: I recently read that you are not too impressed with Jermain Taylor, so what is your true impression of him?
Robert Allen: I have no impression of him, I think he is a good fighter, but I want to mix it up with him. He is supposed to be prestige, HBO, top ten, and maybe he is a money fighter. I am at the top too, so we should mix it up, that is what top fighters do.
Julius Stecker: Right now if you had a choice who would you want to fight most?
Robert Allen: Bernard Hopkins, the first time I was ready and he wasn't ready, and you saw what happened in that fight. The second time he was ready and I wasn't ready. So the the third fight we will both be ready, so we can see what happens then.
Julius Stecker: I have seen you fight, and you are a very well rounded fighter, but how would you describe your style?
Robert Allen: My style is my opponents worst nightmare, when I am in shape I am my opponents worst nightmare. The first Hopkins fight I was in shape and you saw what happened, you saw what happened when I was in shaped when I fought Tito Mendoza, that is what I am capable of when I am in shape
Julius Stecker: Who is your favorite fighter to watch?
Robert Allen: James Toney, Roy Jones Jr, but mostly James Toney.
Julius Stecker: Who wins Toney-Holyfield?
Robert Allen: I don't like to predict, but I know nobody hits James Toney on the button, no matter how much power Holyfield has.
Julius Stecker: In closing,what do you have to say to Hopkins, Joppy, and Taylor?
Robert Allen: I'll make you famous, like Billy the Kid said, I'll make you famous.
