Floyd Mayweather Jr: 'I'm getting better'

Floyd Mayweather Jr has warned Miguel Cotto that he is getting better with age ahead of their clash at the weekend.

The 25-year-old is looking to extend his record of 42-0 against Cotto in Las Vegas on Saturday before starting a 90-day prison sentence on June 1 for domestic abuse. However, Mayweather is in a confident move ahead of the weekend's bout.

"I think I'm getting better with age - I think I'm still sharp, I'm still hungry," said Mayweather.

"I'm boxing a lot with some strong young guys, but I'm not really taking no punishment. I think a great thing about my career is that as far as me taking a long vacation helped as far as letting my body heal totally.

"So May 5 I think is a great thing. I think I'm going to be a lot sharper this fight than I was for the Ortíz fight (KO 4th round, Sep 2011)."

Mayweather has previously said that his fight against Miguel Cotto will not last the full 12 rounds.
