Quotes >
Mayweather is an exceptional fighter . . . . He got a lot of heart and a lot of style. All he has to do is sign the paper. Pacquiao is a good fighter . . . . I know [Mayweather] has the talent to do it [win against Pacquiao] . . . . Ain't nobody beating [Mayweather] . . . . Don't worry about the test Mayweather because he's [Pacquiao] not stronger than you. He's strong but he's not fast. [Mayweather] is blessed with the talent. He doesn't have to worry if he [Pacquiao] is on steroids . . .
