Oscar De La Hoya quotes:
?I honestly think Mayweather is the best boxer right now and maybe of all time.?
?Pacquiao makes mistakes and Mayweather will expose that and I?m convinced Mayweather is the best going now.?
?We know what both fighters have to do. As far as I?m concerned, Mayweather is the one to dictate the terms and say when and where. Mayweather is the king now.?
?We saw what drug testing can do and how it makes boxing look great and as long as we can agree to that, we can make fights.?
Nazim Richardson quotes:
?Shane was making excuses that he wasn?t doing what his trainer told him. And I said, don?t no one talk bad about my fighter, including you Shane.?
?Floyd Mayweather is a special guy and nothing he did surprised me.?
Shane Mosley quotes:
?I tired and it was a good fight and I was that close to get him. He did what he had to do to win the fight. I tip my hat to him. I?m glad he took the challenge.?
?He was hurt real bad and the most hurt he?s been in his entire career but he?s a warrior and proved it.?
?I just wasn?t able to make any adjustments.?
Floyd Mayweather Jr. quotes:
?Just a lot of hard work and belief.?
?The game plan was to relax and do me.?
?My team done one hell of a job. As long as my team takes care of business outside the ring and I do the work in the ring.?
?After the second round everyone was hoppin? and hallerin? and I?m a strong individual and it didn?t bother me.?
?This happens in boxing but I?m a strong individual. DeMarcus Corely hit me with a bigger shot. Zab Judah hit me with a harder shot.?
?I was in such good shape, my weight (147lbs) didn?t go anywhere.?
?Where a lot of fighter rely on power and speed, I rely on skills and smarts.?
?I was looking for a knockout but he was holding.?
?If the fight happens, it happens. I?m not out chasing fighters. Of course, I want to give fans the fight they want, if that?s Pacquiao, we can make it happen. I just want to make sure we?re on an even playing field.?
?I?m going to take a blood test in 55 minutes to prove I?m clean.?
