Your body is your temple. You do your body good, your body will do you good.
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.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
My skills are still my skills.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I would lie in bed, and I was nine years old, and say to myself: 'I want to be the richest man in the world.' I've come a long way from there.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd Mayweather is bigger than the sport. That's the thing. Because you can go to somebody who don't even know what boxing is and say, Floyd Mayweather. They'll go, Oh, I know Floyd Mayweather. I've heard that name.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Me myself I park in handicap, the reason why... ya know my bankroll make me walk with a crazy limp.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Every day as a kid, I went to the boxing gym. I knew boxing before I knew anything else. And I was once told if you show your child how to do something and you constantly push them, then eventually they'll become masters. They'll become a master of their craft. So that's probably what happened with me and the sport of boxing.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I'm not scared of any opponent. I fight who I want to fight.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I come from a very rough background, and I'm saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

Boxing has always been work to me, a job. If I could say anything to a youngster taking up boxing it would be to be smart and not take a lot of punches. It's called the sweet science for a reason. Hit and not be hit, make a lot of money without taking a lot of punishment. That's what it's about.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
