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.
I want to be promoted in the urban areas. A lot of African-American people should know more about me.
Some people are just right for you.
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.
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.
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.
I don't know who my three next opponents will be. A lot of people ask me that. You want to fight me? Earn it.
Any fight that Floyd Mayweather is in is going to be entertaining, regardless. People come to see an icon, a living legend, a superstar.
Everything people say I couldn't do I've done.
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.
It's about having personality...it's not about being the bad guy, it's about entertaining people.
Sometimes, people say certain things about me that are negative, but that's no problem. I try to take their negative and turn it to a positive. That's why I like to surround myself with positive people.
When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn't have anything growing up.
I'm not in this sport to take punishment.
