SOUNDBITE: (English) Floyd Mayweather Jr. (On decision to take on top fighter):“When you’re the best, you only want to push yourself and test yourself against the best. And that’s what the fans wanted to see, so it’s all about pleasing the fans and giving them what they want to see.”
SOUNDBITE: (English) Floyd Mayweather Jr. (On challenges Saul Alvarez presents):“Well like I said, the same way a guy dish it out, he has to be able to take it. My defence is extremely tight. I’m a smart fighter and I have a lot of experience. So, he has to weigh his options and look at it in that point of view.”
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Saul Alvarez (On the advantages of being younger and bigger):“That’s going to be the key obviously. One of the keys, I’m naturally bigger and stronger. But, a lot of people focus on my power, they don’t really focus on my speed and I got speed as well. I’m going to have to take advantage of my speed and use my speed in this fight.”
SOUNDBITE: (English) Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Talks about importance of his ability to adapt to opponent):“Very important, very important, you go back, you go to boxingrec.com and just look at he opponents that Canelo (Saul Alvarez) has faced and look at the opponents I have faced and you’ll see the big difference in experience. But like I said before, he’s done something right to get to this point so he’s a guy that I know I can’t overlook.”
