There is a reason why Floyd Money Mayweather is undefeated. Hard work and dedication is not just a slogan super star prize fighter uses in his promotional campaigns; it is the way of life.
?If you want your name to go down as the best and you want to go down as the greatest,? said Mayweather while hosting a media work out at his gym in Las Vegas on Tuesday:?What that entails is hard work and dedication, belief and a good team. It?s been a rollercoaster ride throughout my whole career, but I am blessed to be where I am at and I want to continue to go out there and dominate.?
Less than two weeks away from super welterweight showdown with WBA champion, Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather is in full training mode.?He is the guy that I know I can?t overlook,? said undefeated Mayweather:?So I got to go out there and take care of business from the opening bell.? Las Vegas bookmakers have Mayweather as a seven to one favorite to defeat Cotto on May 5th; huge odds if you want to bet on American star. Is this the fight worth watching?
?The fans should watch this because in my eyes Miguel Cotto is an undefeated fighter,? said Mayweather:? He fought one guy at a catch weight and he fought one guy who got in trouble for cheating. He is strong, big knock out puncher and he always comes out in a pleasing performance and in a pleasing way. He is going to be at his best and I am going to be at my best.?

It?s about excitement and that?s what I am here to do, to bring excitement to the sport of boxing. I am always happy to go out there and put on pleasing performances for the fans, for the media,for the people that have been supporting me for so many years. It?s a great opportunity to be in a spot light and I am always going to take full advantage of it.?
