I want to beat the best out there and whoever is considered the top fighters of my era.

I feel like everybody is against Floyd Mayweather. I don't get any respect.

I don't fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.

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.

I got a granite chin.

People always say, "I don't mean to do this . . . ," and then they do it! If you don't mean to touch on something, then don't touch on it. That's how I feel.

It's about having personality...it's not about being the bad guy, it's about entertaining people.
