This is Truly Sad

Why is it that whenever a boxer comes along that stands high above the rest of his peers, he gets polarized and that polarization turns into hate and doubt? In the ninties people could not stand Roy Jones because they claimed he ducked this one and that one. Now we are in the time of Floyd and it seems that he's hated on even more than Roy was. Hatton and Cotto were both at ringside when PBF beat the sense out of Gatti. When both of them were asked about potential matches against Floyd they both said we aren't ready yet. Now, how can you be considered the true champion of your division and then state you are not ready for a boxer who has only had 2 fights a 140? That seems a little suspect to me, I can see anything bad about Cotto because I never heard him talk any trash. I think people should just enjoy the best boxer of this day and time. I myself would like to see him tested in fight thats going to make him dig down and show what his heart is made of. Until that day comes I'll just watch and marvel the way this dude boxes circles around his comp.
