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

Much respect to Carlos Morales. He’s a game fighter.

Without boxing, there ain’t no life. For me, at least.

It’s sink or swim for me in 2020.

I’m the most underestimated lightweight in the world.

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’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.

Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.

Braggin’ is when a person says something and can’t do it. I do what I say.

The roughest and toughest fighter I fought was Joe Frazier.

I am grateful for all my victories, but I am especially grateful for my losses, because they only made me work harder.

If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, then they can sure make something out of you.

Allah is the Greatest. I’m just the greatest boxer.
