I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.
Canelo's a different breed. A lot of people think because of the way I made Canelo look, they're going to be able to do the same thing, but that's not true. He's a strong fighter.
I know how I could beat myself: by not being disciplined, by slacking, by not dedicating myself to my craft, by not working hard, by not listening, by thinking I know it all - short like that.
I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, 'I think I should get a job.' She said, 'No, just keep boxing.'
I'm not in this sport to take punishment.
I'm not in this sport to say a guy can beat me.
There is no fighter smarter than me.
I've had boxing gloves on since before I could walk and been in gyms all of my life.
I ain't never nervous. Never nervous.
If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can't make mistakes.
I'm always going to love my father.
You've got to have a villain and they'll always make me a villain. I'm used to it - it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder.
My skills are still my skills.
Floyd Mayweather is in the sport to give great performances.
