Floyd Mayweather Jr. says jail sentence won’t affect him

Pound for pound boxing king Floyd Mayweather Jr. does not believe his recent jail sentence will have any kind of adverse effect on his upcoming fight and title defense against Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero. The 36 year old Welterweight champion is training hard after spending two months in jail at the end of last summer for domestic battery.

And according to The Money, that spell behind bars has had no affect on his preparations for the May 4 World Boxing Council or the WBC Welterweight Championship defense against Guerrero. And having not suffered a single defeat in his 43 fight career, the American firmly believes that the onus will be all one on Guerrero to find a recipe for success against him, where no previous fighter before him has succeeded.

According to Floyd Mayweather Jr. no one has the blueprint of what it takes to overcome him. He stated that all 43 of his previous opponents came into their matches against him with a game plan, and all 43 of them came up short in the end.  He further mentioned that no one has found the code that will break him. He admitted that he doesn’t think the layoff he has had will hurt him inside the ring, asserting that he has faced fighters of almost all styles and as a result, adjusting comes quite easily for him.

The American did confirm that he has changed trainers and has gone back to train under his father after complaining about suffering too much in his previous fight against Miguel Cotto, when he was trained by his uncle Roger. Floyd Mayweather Jr. also mentioned that he has to be smart and listen to his corner, something he didn’t do during the fight against Cotto and was severely bruised during the encounter as a result.

Floyd spent almost three months in jail last year after being convicted of domestic battery after he pleaded guilty of the charges, but was given an early parole by the court after his lawyers had filed an appeal citing his time in jail was hampering his health and could have a long standing impact on his boxing career. Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be yet to have any opponent confirmed against whom he will fight for his comeback match, although the names of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez have come up as potential candidates, but he has made it clear that he will train under his father for the match.

However, a bust up with him caused him to turn to his uncle Roger, but his ill health has seen a return for his dad again.
