I am going for a knock out- Floyd Mayweather

?Last time out in the ring with Victor Ortiz, Floyd promised a knock out,? said Big Steve while chastising a heavy bag at the Y in Glendale: ?It wasn?t kosher, but he did deliver. What is he saying about Miguel Cotto??

Undefeated American super star, considered by many the best fighter in the world right now, promised to make fans happy once again.? A win is a win at the end of the day,? said Mayweather who is scheduled to challenge Miguel Cotto for WBA super welterweight crown on May 5th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas:? But fans like to see knock outs. So I am pretty sure he is going for a knock out. I am going for a knock out and it’s Pay Per View so give the fans what they want to see. Last fight fans wanted to see a knock out. It was a wild roller coaster ride with a head butts; a knock down drag out fight, but it was exciting at the end of the day.?

Money Mayweather is seven to one favorite to beat Miguel Cotto on May 5th according to Las Vegas bookmakers. Still, despite of huge odds, smart money is with Floyd Mayweather. Perhaps the only concern Floyd?s backers might have is that he is moving up in weight to face the Puerto Rican champion. Both fighters are contracted to fight at 154 pounds weight limit of super welterweight division. ?I don?t want to fight Miguel Cotto that?s dehydrated. I want to fight strong, hungry Miguel Cotto,? said Mayweather addressing weight issue:? We are just happy to do a lot of physical strength work and even though Leonard Ellerby is CEO of Mayweather Promotions he has also been my strength trainer for many , many years, so we want to push ourselves to to the limit, continue to be the best that we can be in the sport of boxing and continue to rack up victories.

Both legendary champions , Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto agreed to submit to Olympic style drug testing administered by USADA leading up to their My 5th showdown.? I am the face of the sport? said Mayweather,35:? Floyd Mayweather brought the random blood and urine Olympic style drug testing to the sport of professional boxing which is a great thing especially when you got two of the best fighters of this era competing at this top level, you should have the best testing so both fighters could be on an even playing field and that’s the only thing I ‘ve said about the sport; it’s about being on an even playing field.?
