Floyd Mayweather was at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Saturday night to
unveil a portrait of himself after receiving the Fighter of the Year
award from the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame.
Mayweather, who accepted the award from boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard,
has fought just twice in the last 12 months, beating Marcos Maidana by
unanimous decision last September, before defeating Manny Pacquiao by
the same method in May.
The boxing superstar said: 'The object of the game is to hit and not be
hit. Be smart. When I retire, I’ll have all my faculties so I can spend
time with my family.'

Ali could not attend the induction ceremony himself due to his Parkinson's disease, but the 73-year-old's daughter Rasheda Ali-Walsh was there to accept the honour on his behalf.
