I'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past.

You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.

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.

Well, my mother and certain other people in my life - a lot of important people - have said, "Floyd, nobody is perfect except for god." And I always knew that; I just wanted my victories to be flawless. I didn't want to get hit at all. I wasn't gonna make any mistakes. And that's the problem with me growing up and being around a trainer that wants his fighter to be perfect.

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

If I did want to come back, I was going to make, what, $50 million? You know what; don't call my phone unless you've got $100 million.

When I was younger, my dad did want me to be perfect, so that's probably why that's installed in me to this day. I want to be perfect at whatever I do. I can't help it. It's just installed in me.
