Cotto has shown a great ability to adapt and adjust to any situation he has ever been in. He can bang, box and take away your will to win.

The reason there are so many Floyd haters around is more to do with his fans thinking he is some unbeatable force, than Mayweather himself.

Some Fighters have a will to win that is so high, they refuse to be denied. They find a way to win. They just want it more.

Who would have thought Pavlik, as sloppy as he can look, would walk through Miranda and Taylor? Who would have thought Duran could have beaten Leonard while jumping up 12 pounds?

From what I have seen from Floyd in the past three years, is someone more and more uninterested in fighting. He has fought for paydays, but anyone who can stand there and say his heart is still in the sport are only kidding themselves.

Watch him train, look at his opposition over the last three years, look at him standing toe to toe with OScar for many parts of their bout despite having the inferior firepower, and size. He also looked more motivated against Hatton than we've seen him. Besides all that is there any reason to believe he is beatable to anyone out there? THere are only a few welterweights I would say give him a good fight and could beat him, there are fewer lightweights, and even fewer featherweights and super featherweights that I think could also do it.

Mayweather is underrated because he doesn't need to leave first gear to beat the best guys out there. SOme people don't see heart, but I see a guy who is so composed and confident in the ring that he doesn't need to risk everything for a knockout, he's never been like that, and people are mistaken themselves if they think he was against guys like Corrales. The simple truth was that they were smaller, and he hit harder p4p at those weightclasses.
