    People that have never fought or been in a gym and had to train hard don't really understand that point I think T. Anyone that has actually trained hard knows that no matter what situation you grew up in, it still takes an immense amount of motivation, pain, strength and will to become great. No one can help you train or give you the motivation to keep going and go through the necessary hardships that such intense training involves.

      Yep, deffintaly,

      I mean, getting up early mornings to run miles, training in a gym everyday etc. That is hard, And no one can say Floyd didn't earn what he got imo

        Floyd only beat Oscar by SD and Oscar tried to pressure Floyd (which isn't his style), a real PRIME PRESSURE FIGHTER like Margarito would succeed against the smaller Mayweather. Cotto is a lot bigger than Floyd and the extra body weight of Marg leaning on him for 12 rounds will effect him.

        No one can run from a Tornado for 36 minutes.

          Mayweather has the stamina to move and counter for 12 rounds.

          Margarito is simply too slow on his feet and lacks the defense to defeat Mayweather.

          Williams has trouble with guys that can move and counter effectively as shown against Quintana the first time.Mayweather is the best in the sport at it. Mayweather UD's Williams.

          Cotto is the toughest matchup for him but Mayweather's superior countering and defense would win him a decision.

            That's what I thought until I saw him fight Cotto.

            Marg isn't nearly as slow as people make out and IMO, he has more stamina than Mayweather.

                Margarito has the better Stamina but has no defense which is bad against a guy who is very accurate and fast on his feet.

                    Marg's defense is underrated. He takes a lot of shots on his gloves, even if they get through it doesn't faze him.

                    Mayweather is no doubt the better P4P fighter but who said Mayweather is a Welterweight? I fail to see how beating Baldomir, Judah and Hatton @ 147 makes you the best WW.

                      I fail to see beating a 43 year old man makes you the best at LHW, fool. Margarito was getting hit with clean shots, Cotto lost because he though he could brawl with him and got ****ed up
