Little Floyd lacks heart. He reminds me of Royce Gracie who yes..He is a great fighter, who can take his grappling abilities and win alot of tough fights, but if the pressure is on he will not go outside the art of jujitsu to get the victory. To me that says he lacks the heart of a champion and the mind set of a killer, and the same goes for PBF. I think the first time someone level headed finds a way past his technique, he'll have no option but to take the punishment. Watch the fight and you'll see Mayweather deflecting Zab's shots rather easily when he threw his left hand meaningfully, but hardly ever countering those hard shots, the way a SRL, or a Roy Jones, or a Aaron Pryor would of done. And if he was full heart, will, and determination, Judah would not of made it to round 12. On top of that he's convinced himself he's ok to fight at 147 and he's not, nor is Hatton in my opinion. God if they ever fight let it be at 140!
Hmmm... c-c I agree with you! At least so far. Just as the article says, Mayweather still has time and time is on his side, for that defining moment to prove himself worthy to stand along Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali, and even I think the psychotic Aaron Pryor belongs there too.

Sugar Ray Leonard, Aaron Pryor were killers at heart, who would probably do anything to win. From Roy Jones' performance against Tarver trilogy, I wouldn't include him with them, even though Jones is easily a great hall of famer.

Oh... you noticed the "couterpuncher" stopped countering too, eh? Interesting to see how Floyd ends his great career. With obvious flaws shown to all the trainers around the world.

But anybody, no matter who or what they do, when they will lose because of a challenge too great and everything they have been taught doesn't work, when they " go outside the art of jujitsu to get the victory." Thats called genius. I think genius is more determination than talent, easily. In the long run, determination beats talent. (You can argue some cases against that, but too much details.)

Muhammad Ali should have lost in the Rumble in the Jungle. I tell that to everybody. But he did something "out of the box" and stayed on the ropes and covered up. That won him the fight. THAT IS GENIUS!!!

I think talent comes and goes, but determination stays!
