Sure he's talented and has many physical gifts with all the physical attributes a fighter could ever want, nobody disputes that, but psychologically he's lacking and consequently is not the truth.
That's why there's that old expression: Boxing is the Great truth-teller.
That's why Boxing in open worldwide competition has the financial rewards for the best-of-the-best, and if it ain't there, it'll be exposed.
Coasting on talent, he's still good enough to be Top 10 which is an accomplishment, but he's not elite Top 3.
In contrast, lesser athletes have gone further because of dedication, sacrifice, confidence, and Heart.
Take Margarito at the Pacquiao fight. Slow as molasses, but tough as a 2 dollar steak, and he wasn't gonna stop. He kept coming ahead.
