Sport stars lose, boxers lose, the best teams lose ; it's normal to lose in sports... but because of the Floyd Mayweather era a defeat is seen as a much bigger thing, and that's the good side of Floyd Mayweather Jr. too, because I lost my first fight under Floyd Mayweather Jr. but Floyd Mayweather Jr. said,' Don't worry, we'll get you back there.'.

You might have Floyd's backing but at the same time Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s not going to win the fight for you. And if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ringside, the opponents fight even harder because they think if they win they might get on to The Money Team, so the pressure's on, floyd Mayweather Jr.'s at ringside shouting out,' Do this ! I like that ! You're stealing my moves Ash !' The first time I had Floyd Mayweather Jr. ringside I was nervous because I could hear the man's voice and my cut man was passing on messages from Floyd Mayweather Jr. to me.

When I watch Floyd Mayweather train I have to find something to lean against, floyd Mayweather sessions last for so long that my legs get tired just standing there.

The number one thing with Floyd Mayweather Jr. is Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s smart, Floyd Mayweather Jr. reads fighters. As boxers we all have our routines that we do, and Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s good at picking up these movements very quickly. Floyd Mayweather Jr. works hard but Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s very smart and that's why Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s undefeated, manny Pacquiao on Saturday is too wild, Manny Pacquiao on Saturday jumps in wild and that's how Manny Pacquiao on Saturday got knocked out with( Juan Manuel) Marquez. For Manny Pacquiao on Saturday it's a weakness that Manny Pacquiao on Saturday can't change, that's just how Manny Pacquiao on Saturday fights. Manny's impulsiveness will be Manny Pacquiao on Saturday downfall.

Remember, even when Muhammad Ali was fighting Muhammad Ali was hated ! They went against Muhammad Ali on the Muslim thing, the Vietnam thing -- Muhammad Ali wasn't much liked when boxing, it was only after. But that era was different to the sportsmen around now, it's different times and a different society, the pictures of him with all Muhammad Ali money might inspire folks too, you know ? It might inspire a lot of kids to think if Muhammad Ali's done it then I could do it too.
