By Chris Williams: Photo credit: Sumio Yamada – Floyd Mayweather Jr. summed it up best when he described the different between him and WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, saying “The difference between between and you [Ortiz] is I can adjust and adapt.

So if I hit you and hurt you, don’t grab me, don’t hold on at all. I’m gonna finish you off easy.”
