Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Fighting Quotations

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.

You've got to have a villain and they'll always make me a villain. I'm used to it - it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder.

I like fighters who come to fight.

I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight.

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.

If I'm scared and I'm a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

I don't have to fight if I don't want to.

You have to realize that most of these guys get in there and fight on heart. I fight with smarts. There is no fighter that is smarter than me. Most of these fighters are ABC, 1-2-3. I am like 4-5-6 levels above them; that's why I'm able to beat them.

I don't fight for legacy. I don't fight for none of that, I fight for that check. I'm in the check cashing business.

There is boxing and then there is me. The rest are just falling in line behind me or are trying to get in line to fight me. And that includes Manny Pacquiao too.

I'm fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5th because Miss Pac Man is ducking me

I don't fight for bragging rights. I've proved myself.

You stick to commentating, let me do the fighting.

The American fans would love to see me fight anybody.

Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk.

I’m not in this sport to see how hard I can get hit or to see how many big punches I can take. I am in this game to fight as long as I can. I am trying to dish a lot of punishment.

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.

All 48 of my fights have been hard. None have been easy. All played a major key. It's the 'Mayweather Era.' I feel that every fighter is an artist and they all take pictures their own way. I'm just one of the very best artists.

Any fight that Floyd Mayweather is in is going to be entertaining, regardless. People come to see an icon, a living legend, a superstar.

I'm not scared of any opponent. I fight who I want to fight.

I fight myself. I don't fight to break Ali's record or Sugar Ray Robinson's record. I fight to please myself. I know in my heart where I'm rated. I didn't fight in Ali's era. This is my era.

Las Vegas is the boxing capital. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything.
