    If Floyd Mayweather Jr. had Arturo Gatti's heart...

    I would still be a Floyd fan, Floyd would have fought and beaten Margarito, Cotto, Shane in his prime, Cory Spinks, Kermit Cintron, Paul Williams, he would have rematched and beaten Oscar, he would have fought and likely beaten his primary P4P rival Manny Pacquiao five months ago, and would be preparing to fight Sergio Martinez for the middleweight championship this fall. And people like myself would not be trashing him.

      If he had gatti's heart, he'd have taken those challenges on, and have at least one or two losses by now. He'd also have taken a lot more punishment, and his skills and reflexes would have dimished by now.

      BUT he would be a greater fighter.

      Not knocking him though - he's been very intelligent with how he went through his career. Minimize risk, maximise reward

                Heart has got nothing to do with who Floyd has fought or not fought , his amazing success has controled his path , I,ll put it another way if Gatti had Floyds skills and megastar success he would not have been in the wars he was , you guys need to understand the difference between climbing the mountain and sitting on top of it .

                    Floyd has a big heart, he doesn't Gatti's heart. Gatti already quit in big fights, Floyd didn't.
                    What Floyd needs is balls, he doesn't have balls. That's it.
