I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
A lot of the time when I go to church, people want to take pictures. They want you to sign autographs. So I don't go all the time. I go once in a blue moon. Every once in a blue moon.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Nobody knows what the future holds, but right now, I'm cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. I had a good career, I won every world title, but boxing is wear and tear on the body. It's time to hang 'em up. I'm looking forward to working with some up-and-coming kids, going on walks, and taking vacations.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
You know, everybody has a slogan, and once you beat people over the head with it so much, then that's what you'll eventually be called once you retire from the sport or whatever.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
My spirituality is more private. I've got my own personal relationship with god. I know that there's a god because I was able to survive everything that I've been through - all of the tough times - and I'm still at the top of my game. With all the rumors and all the hate, I'm still strong, still happy, still blessed.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
It's the hurt business, it's boxing. We're there to get it in.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
If I'm scared and I'm a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

I don't adjust my training for any of my opponents. I don't watch films on my opponents.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
All 48 of my fights have been hard. None have been easy. All played a major key. It's the 'Mayweather Era.' I feel that every fighter is an artist and they all take pictures their own way. I'm just one of the very best artists.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
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.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
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.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Everything people say I couldn't do I've done.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I think my dad, when he works with my older son, puts the same kind ofpressure on him that he put on me - that perfectionist pressure. And that can work in two ways: It can make you a perfectionist yourself, or it can eventually break you in the long run.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
