    Media day quotes;

    "I train hard and each time a little harder. I always want to look better than the fight before. Faster, stronger. I work hard in the gym to perfect my game. I push as far as I can as this is about the future for me and my family."

    "A lot of these fighters are media creations. I got this far on my own. I can make anybody look like a nobody."

    "I tried to face Mosley before but he outbid himself. Back then we weren't making that kind of money. I was making more than him, but still you have to be realistic. It has to be a fair amount. Now he sees how much I am making and how much he can make fighting me, but now he's older with losses. I was trying to fight him when he was undefeated and he wasn't a smart enough businessman to make a fair deal."

    "I am a competitive athlete and before we make any fight the cash has to be right. When you are young, you fight to show you are better and then you prove it. At this level, it is about money because I already proved the rest. I perfected how to get money in the pros and I write my own checks."

    "I believe in the drug testing because I want to help clean up the sport. What is so wrong about making sure a fight is fair? I just want to compete knowing that you have two hands, two legs and a heart just like me. Nothing else should be a factor and the USADA drug testing, which can detect things not found in urine testing alone, helps make that happen. It is only fairness I am looking for because when it comes down to it and after all things are said by each guy's team and the media and the fans, the only thing that matters on the night of the fight is me and him. It is just us in the ring and we have to fight each other to show which one of us is the best. Nothing else matters but that."

    "I was born to get it done. I have trained hard for every fight and then I just train harder. I have never taken a short cut to my success. My dad and uncle know this and I am glad they are both here."

    Floyd is a bulkier, stronger fighter/athlete than he's ever been.

    I theorize people will be surprised by the symptoms and signs when they reveal themselves.

    Despite all his downfalls, you can't argue with Floyd's dedication to the gym. I applaud him in that respect.

    i noticed it in the comeback against JMM. He looks jacked compared to what he was when he fought Hatton. He has grown into the weight at 147 100% now.

    Floyd hasnt been easy to muscle around. Now he seems stronger than ever.

    Floyd could of muscled JMM around more but I think he felt guilty..lol. Whenever Floyd pushed off JMM flew halfway across the ring.

    I agree with the posts about Floyd's physical strength and "bulkier" physique. He seems a more genuine 147lbs now, which was not the case pre-"retirement". There's no one in the world who's going to push him around at Welterweight on a physical strength level.

    As noted above, Floyd is a gym rat who just keeps in shape as a lifestyle. Mosley is the same way, which makes this interesting. You have two guys who genuinely live boxing and the people around them and in their families live boxing also. That's one of the biggest factors in this fight that makes it interesting. You're going to have a lot of boxing intelligence in that ring and in the corners come May 1.

    He is still a size smaller than mosley. Especially in the arm/shoulder area. floyd got small body frame.

    dedication to not losing is more like it. if he were that dedicated to boxing he would have fought the best looking for the biggest fights challenge-wise. but apparently he's a "businessman" first which compels him to pick his fights.
