‘Talking doesn’t win fights,’ says Floyd Mayweather as he prepares for last of his career
The five-division world champion will put his unbeaten record on the line when he defends his WBC and WBA welterweight titles against fellow American Berto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in his 49th fight as a professional
For Floyd Mayweather Jr, it was very familiar territory as he explained why he was the best boxer of his generation during the buildup to what he says will be the final bout of his career against Andre Berto on Saturday.
The five-division world champion will put his unbeaten record on the line when he defends his WBC and WBA welterweight titles against fellow American Berto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in his 49th fight as a professional.
"We’re back," Mayweather said, speaking softly and matter-of-factly while occasionally resorting to his brash style during a joint news conference with Berto.
"We’ve been here so many times. I know talking doesn’t win fights. I know trainers don’t win fights. It comes down to the two competitors.
"I’m always prepared physically, I’m always prepared mentally. We have a remarkable game plan, we have a remarkable team and I’ve had a remarkable career. I believe in my skills and I believe in my talent."
