I want to be promoted in the urban areas. A lot of African-American people should know more about me.

When I was in the ring at the Olympics, it was my father's words that I was hearing, not the coaches'. 'I never listened to what the coaches said. I would call my father and he would give me advice from prison.

You can never overlook a guy.

Larry Merchant's just a commentator. He don't know nothing about boxing.

I'm here to say all lives matter.

If anyone has followed my career, they know that there's been a lot of obstacles and a lot of ups and down through my career. But day in and day out, and in the square circle, I went out there and always did my best.

I'm always focused.

My dad was in a hospital for months. The doctors told my dad he would never be able to walk again. My dad beat all the odds. He came back and was able to walk and start boxing again. He went to No. 1 in the world at welterweight to fight for the world title. But he never had his chance to fight for a world title.

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 can remember 1987 when I had my first amateur fight in Michigan, weighing 64lb. I was 10 years old. I was the youngest and smallest guy on my team. I can remember what I ate. There was this restaurant called Ponderosa, and my dad made me eat a steak. I was happy. It was a first round knockout. I slept with my trophy for two weeks.

When no one knew who Dana White was... Dana White used to run around with me, hang out with me, and I treated him just like anyone else in my camp.

I turned pro as a 20-year-old, won a world title a year later, and remained a world champion ever since.

No one thought the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would happen, but I had patience.

I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing.

God has blessed me with an unbelievable talent, with fast feet, fast hands, unbelievable defense and a very, very sharp mind. So I'm thankful for that.

When they said, 'Why is Floyd Mayweather not fighting Manny Pacquiao?' it was because Manny Pacquiao had a boss. I don't have a boss.

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.

Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead, all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and, you know, most of the time, the people that criticize me can't do what I can do.

I got a granite chin.

Worry about going out there and making your own legacy.

Every home that I have is paid for, every car that I have is paid for, and I am a hundred-million-dollar man. I mean, this is the truth; it's not a lie.

I'm always going to love my father.

I'm just an American dream.

I'm not here to judge. We don't know what Trump can do.
