Floyd Mayweather Jr says he gave the fans what they wanted as he dismantled Shane Mosley in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
So often criticised in the past for his safety-first style, 'Money' was the aggressor all night en route to a convincing points victory at the MGM Grand.
And after improving his perfect pro record to 41-0, he said: "I gave the fans what they wanted to see. They wanted to see me moving, and coming forward and that's what I did tonight.
"We should have pressed the attack a lot earlier and we could have got the knockout, but Shane Mosley is a tough customer and he is one hell of a fighter."Mayweather appeared to be in trouble briefly in round two when he was tagged with two big rights by Mosley, and said: "That's all with the territory of boxing - only the strong survive. This is a contact sport, some time you are going to get hit with big shots, you must suck it up and keep fighting hard like a warrior.
"I'm happy that me and Shane had a chance to fight - it's a part of history."
Mayweather insists he is still prepared to fight reigning P4P king Manny Pacquiao in the match the whole world wants to see, but insists he and his camp will stick to their guns on the issue of blood testing. Disagreements over that issue scuppered their proposed meeting earlier this year.
"If Manny Pacquiao wants to fight, it's not hard to find me," he said.
"We were going to make the fight happen a couple of months ago, but we move on.
"If Manny Pacquiao will take the blood and urine tests, we can make the fight happen for all the fans."
When asked what would happen if Pacquiao didn't agree to his demands, Mayweather said simply: "Then we don't got no fight."
