But you won't hear any of them coming from the mouth of Freddie Roach.
A two-time Trainer of the Year and one of the most respected handlers in the sport, the 47-year-old Roach is the man tasked with plotting the downfall of the 'Pretty Boy' in Las Vegas on May 5.
And he believes his tickets for mayweather vs pacquiao has what it takes to puncture Mayweather's perfect 37-0 record when they clash for the WBC world light-middleweight crown.
As he prepared the 'Golden Boy' for his date with destiny at the MGM Grand, he spoke exclusively to us about his man, Floyd and their eagerly-awaited showdown.
"Mayweather is a good fighter, a good boxer. But he's not a great finisher. He's a good boxer who I would liken to somebody like Willie Pep.
"He's had a couple of boring fights and I'm not that impressed with some of the opponents.
"Baldomir for example is a club fighter. He's a nice guy but he's not a great fighter. And Zab Judah as well.
"Floyd looked good against Gatti but he was made for him. Anybody who was betting on Gatti that night was betting with his heart and not his head."
The Las Vegas superfight pits not only the sport's biggest names, but also two of its most talented boxers. And Ricky Hatton for one said recently the match-up could be more chess than boxing. |
