FLOYD MAYWEATHER, 11-Time World Champion
“My training camp is basically running the same way. I think it has been smoother than others. I feel very comfortable and happy with my performances. They push me hard at camp. They know what I need.
“This is going to be an exciting fight. Our styles are totally different. He is very, very reckless. Every move I make is calculated. I’m always 5-10 steps ahead of my opponent.
“We’ll see what happens when the fight starts. But when all is said and done I’m going to be the winner. Pacquiao is strong and solid but I don’t know if he can make adjustments like I can. I feel tremendous. I’m still going strong. The last time I looked, I was 47 and 0. Anyone can get hit with a great shot, but I can make more adjustments and Manny can’t.
