“I wasn’t too excited about school, I’m not going to lie.”

It’s sink or swim for me in 2020.

I’m the most underestimated lightweight in the world.

Canelo is a counterpuncher, a boxer, and that’s what I am.

My main thing is to prove all the doubters wrong.

I’m trying to do something more than just be a champion who wins fights.

I want to shock the world, and I’m going to do that through boxing.

I’m looking to prove myself and earn that respect in the ring.

I’m going to wait until I’m 20 before I start calling out world champions.

I don’t care about losing. How many times did Michael Jordan lose before he won his first championship? It wasn’t about the number of losses with Sugar Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns.

Adjust to your surroundings, because the world don’t wait for you.

I really have no fear.

I’ve become a better boxer and a better person.

This is a pretty barbaric game. You can’t really let emotions get into the way.

I take no step backward from anyone.

I ain’t intimidated by Mayweather. Nobody could intimidate me.

I’ve said all along that I was destined for greatness.

I’m still excited at being at a microphone and talking to listeners. I love that. It’s the most basic element of what I do and I still enjoy it very much.

Practice being excited.

When I think about that I get stimulated and excited. It’s a feeling that you can’t label with words.

I’m in the studio for hours in that tiny little box, and really, the performing part is what I’m most excited about.

Music does not excite until it is performed.

I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

In New York, I was excited about the music in New York because the only music that I was more or less involved with in the South was either country and western or hillbilly music as we used to call it when I was a kid and, ah, gospel.

The fans out in New Zealand are amazing. They’re genuinely excited and appreciative that you’re playing their country.
