Eight-time world champion Floyd Mayweather refused to be drawn into a war of words at the final news conference for his WBC welterweight title clash with Robert Guerrero on Saturday in Las Vegas, despite being labelled a "woman-beater" by his rival's father.
The undefeated Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs), who has said he has 30 months of boxing left in him, was the picture of calm as Ruben Guerrero screamed at him: "We are going to beat the woman-beater."
Mayweather served two months of a 90-day sentence for domestic violence last year.
"I don't have to sit here and bad mouth his father," shrugged Mayweather after the news conference. "Only God can judge me."
Guerrero, too, is ready to fight, and believes Mayweather has invited more stress for himself by starting the countdown clock on his career.
"They say the pressure is on me. The pressure is on him to stay undefeated, to keep his legacy going," Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs) said on Wednesday.
