- At 38, he said he had achieved his goals and would not receive proper credit regardless, retiring unbeaten at 42–0 with undisputed titles in three divisions.
- He rejected an MMA switch, citing lower pay and greater injury risk, with some outlets reporting he earned about $50 million for the Canelo fight.
- He named Yuriorkis Gamboa, from their lightweight bout, as the toughest opponent of his career rather than Canelo Alvarez.
- He ruled out a comeback against Floyd Mayweather and promoted an “I am the belt” message, asserting his legacy does not depend on holding titles.
