I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, 'I think I should get a job.' She said, 'No, just keep boxing.'
I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.
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.
I know how I could beat myself: by not being disciplined, by slacking, by not dedicating myself to my craft, by not working hard, by not listening, by thinking I know it all - short like that.
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.
If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can't make mistakes.
Come December 8th his ass gone be hurt. He aint fought 43 Floyd Mayweathers.
