why does a hater hate?Cuban coach Pedro Diaz is not impressed with the words or the boxing ability of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs). Diaz is the trainer of WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 20KOs), who faces Mayweather this Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Im sure a few of the other 41 trainers came up with the same game-plan that Pedro thinks he has, but the problem is not the game-plan, its can the fighter execute the game-plan and not get spanked around the ring at the same time,LOL. Havnt seen it yet and I dont think May 5th will be any different.Comment

He is right in a way, in that good tactics and preparation are key to winning any boxing match, but he's definately wrong in saying Mayweather is just another fighter. He is clearly a special talent, closest to perfect a boxing machine today when it comes to the sweet science at it's purest, "hit without being hit". However I do not believe he is unbeatable and he does do some things which could be taken advantage of, like not throwing many punches (I know he doesn't need to with his accuracy, but DLH was able to steal a card with rapid fire slapping Calzaghe style) and he also a penchant for dropping back onto the ropes using his shoulder roll. Of course implementing a plan to beat has been impossible thus far, and without saying it's always easier said than done, especially with Mayweather's unmatched ring IQ. Cotto's trainer is just keeping a level head, giving Cotto some confidence in the process. Just hope it doesn't translate into overconfidence, which I doubt, Cotto has got his ass whooped before thinking some fights would be easier than they would be and he'll know what he's up against vs Mayweather.Comment
