Everyone knew how talented Sugar Ray Leonard was coming out of the olympic games, but talent alone does not translate to greatness. Yes you can be blessed with all the natural ability in the world, but it must be tested and only then is greatness forged. Leonard had to prove it in the ring against the likes of Duran,Hearns, Hagler and even late in his career testing his mettle against a murderous puncher in Terry Norris. He took chances and that is where respect is earned.
Mayweather's sole drive is money and keeping that zero intact, those things don't engender respect(unless we're talking about nuthuggers), they raise more questions as to why a man blessed with so much ability simply refuses to test that ability against other great fighters within his own division.
We can wax poetic about how skillful he is, everyone knows that, we all know that already. But when will he himself be ready to win us all over by showing heart, instead of alienating us with this boorish antics. I'm glad Mosley bum rushed and embarrassed Floyd. I thought it was spectacular to watch this moron stutter "yeh but we play basketball"...priceless.
