Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.
My kids are the future of the Mayweather family and of the Mayweather brand. I feel our family is stronger if we stay together.
Maidana is a young, strong and tough competitor. He's a guy that I can't overlook. You can never take any fighter for granted because anything can happen.
He can have heart, he can hit harder and he can be stronger, but there's no fighter smarter than me.
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.
My spirituality is more private. I've got my own personal relationship with god. I know that there's a god because I was able to survive everything that I've been through - all of the tough times - and I'm still at the top of my game. With all the rumors and all the hate, I'm still strong, still happy, still blessed.
I'm not in this sport to take punishment.
I'm not in this sport to say a guy can beat me.
You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.
I'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past.
There is no fighter smarter than me.
I've had boxing gloves on since before I could walk and been in gyms all of my life.
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 ain't never nervous. Never nervous.
