    I think its quite clear that he is the favourite to win this fight and many people are picking him to win easy some of them even by stoppage.:yep

    Anyone who is well versed in mind games knows this has a adverse effect on the fighter expected to do well especially when in reality that's not really the case(the fight being easy)

    Not to mention the magnitude of the event and build up all this will just be too much pressure.Floyd would of preferred to be the underdog and to into the bout with his head down but this not the case everyone is expecting him to back up his words Floyd finds himself were he does not want to be he has also recently said pac is shot which does not help his cause.

    He has tons of pressure every time he steps in the ring. He's expected to beat everyone he fights, and it looks like a good amount of people buy his PPV's now just in the hopes of seeing him lose.

    He's been a pound for pound stalwart since 1998. I'm sure he feels the pressure in every fight he's in

    i think the opposite i think Mayweather is going to under-estimate Manny Pacquiao which sounds crazy but i feel he has too many people around him telling him how easy the fight is going to be from his Dad and Uncle probably to the cleaners at his gym, they all think Floyd will win easily, so imo Floyd is going to train and prepare like he is fighting a bum and on fight night he is going to be in for a big shock.

    This pressure is not comparable to his other fights this is pressure he has never felt.

    that's my point everyone is saying it will be easy so Floyd could under underestimate him his own father said it will not go past 4 rounds.

    Pacquiao will be an underdog once again since the oscar fight where everyone counted him out. Before that, he was an underdog in the Barrera fight. I like it when people are counting pac out saying things like "he's a shell of his former self", "floyd is bigger and stronger", "floyd is more skilled", " pac has recently beeb ktfo by jmm".

    Floyd has NEVER underestimated any fighter in his entire pro career. And he has been the favorite in every pro fight in his career. So explain to me why he would start now in what will be the biggest fight of his career? And if possible, give a logical coherent explanation.

    He believes Pac is shot that is the main thing here thus making mind ****ing himself.................

    You are also predicting Floyd knocks him out easy or stops.:hi:

    Can't recall the last time mayweather was the underdog going into the fight. Similarly, I can't recall the last time you made an intelligent post.

    Btw I'm pretty sure those in mayweathers camp always say his next fight will be easy work. Nothing new from the mayweather camp here. In fact manny is the fighter with more pressure. He's been the guy acting out of character as of late with his commercial and comments that bash Floyd. This fight more so than any other will define his place of the best or second best fighter of this generation and honestly I think that this pressure is getting to him.

    Floyd is scared, he can't look Manny straight in the eyes. He will freeze at the weigh in then lose the fight the next day.

    Will Floyd be wearing a diaper to the weigh in? He might soil his 5$ TMT briefs...
