Oscar: I felt when I landed my punches I could see I was hurting him. If I hadn't pressed the fight, there would be no fight.
Floyd Mayweather Sr.: I thought Oscar won the fight on points, threw more punches and was more aggressive. My son had good defense and caught a lot of his punches, but I still thought Oscar pressed enough to win the fight. (On the fight between his son and Oscar De La Hoya.)
Oscar: Mayorga plans on a knockout in the sixth, I just laugh at his cockiness. While he may portray an animal, I will out box him any day.
Oscar: I thought of ending my boxing career after my mother died, I was so depressed. After much thought, and reflection, I realized that she would want me to be the best.
Oscar: My father, Joel wasn't the type of man who told me 'Son, I love you'. I don't think that he ever did. I knew he loved me, but never really expressed it. So, every opportunity that I get, I tell my kids that I love them.
Oscar: Sure, it will be a challenge to fight after an eleven and a half year break, but that's what life is composed of, all of the challenges.
