More quotes by 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.
Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.
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.

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.

When God wants me to lose, then that's when I'll lose. But until then, I'm going to be at the top of my game and keep working hard anddedicating myself to the sport of boxing and to being the best entertainer that I can be.
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.
People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

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.
I want to be promoted in the urban areas. A lot of African-American people should know more about me.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.
