Floyd Mayweather’s media workout with quotes – Boxing News
Surprisingly, Floyd Mayweather Jr. became media’s host yesterday hosting a media workout in a gym in Las Vegas. Floyd wanted to exhibit preparations of his mega bout scheduled for May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas against Miguel Cotto.
During the workout, Floyd seemed in a jolly mood, talking to media reporters in a very confident manner. When asked about his performance against Cotto and its preparations, he said, “I'm always happy to go out there and put on a pleasing performance for
the fans. The media and the people that have been supporting me for years. Uncle Roger said this is the hardest he's ever seen me train. This is the hardest he's ever seen me work for a fight.”
Mayweather’s workout was televised on several channels and was distributed through most top-notch boxing websites.
Talking about his career, the unbeaten American fighter said, “It's been a roller coaster ride throughout my whole career, but I'm blessed to be where I am and I want to continue to go out there and dominate. The hard work has been done. During fight week,
we will focus on shadow boxing, mental work and light training.”
For the May 5 fight, Miguel Cotto’s WBA junior middleweight title will be on the line while Floyd’s unbeaten streak will be on the line. Floyd was asked if Cotto would be his most dangerous opponent, to which he replied that all his 42 opponents to date
have been dangerous. He added that even though they were high-profile professionals, they all landed up in the same place. He then said that he could look into a fighter’s eyes and check out his body language to know if he is a beaten fighter.
Although this sounds like Mayweather was provoking Cotto, he said it was nothing like that. According to Mayweather, he cannot ignore the fact that he will be fighting with a fighter like Cotto and that fans should watch this fight since it is going to be
among his best. Mayweather also said that according to him Cotto is still an unbeaten fighter, since his career’s first loss to Margarito came in by cheating.
