2)If Mayweather beats the number one contender convincingly ... then he isn't talking "crap" is he. He's talking truth.
Other boxers beat someone on top and you don't hear them lowering themseves as Mayweather does. Look at Pacquiao, Kostya Tszu, De La Hoya, Mosley, etc. for instance and tell me if their words before/after a fight are comparable to Floyd's.

If not, then you hate Mayweather more than you love boxing, eh?
You are beginning to sound like a Pac fan using the word "hate" in there :P . Don't we all have a boxer we wish we could see loosing? I acknowledge Mayweather's skills but I just want to see him loose and I don't see Cotto pulling a victory, for the reasons already mentioned, as much as I want to.
