“I know I need a work ethic to match my talent.”

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 could have been the next Babe Ruth. No doubt about it.

One of the most important things for me is my family. You know, they keep me grounded, they keep me humble. They always made sacrifices with me.

I know pretty much all my analytics and I take that into consideration when I’m posting.

I just want to lean on my team to make the best decisions for me because, knowing myself, I won’t say no to anybody.

Promoters need you. You don’t need them. The boxer has the leverage, and a lot of boxers don’t know that.

My books standing there on the shelf do not know that I have written them.

There is no fire like lust, no sickness like hatred, no sorrow like separateness, no joy like peace.No disease is worse than greed, no suffering worse than selfish passion. Know this, and seek nirvana as the highest joy.

They think they can make fuel from horse manure – now, I don’t know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it’s sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.

You’ve gotta have somebody to trust, that knows a lot.
