    He really really doesn't like Mosley.
    I feel like he is very uncomfortable fighting Mosley.
    It has taken him out of his comfort zone, and that's why he was dissing Mosley in front of the media yesterday..

    I feel Floyd seems very annoyed he is giving Mosley his biggest payday.
    It's like '' why should I be giving this guy his biggest payday, and that will cost Floyd the fight.

    It seems that Mayweather is all about doing financial service to other fighters and vice versa and that's about it..

    He is not really about fighting the best, but about making the most money..

    Yeah - But hes Human before hes a fighter !!!! Of course hes gonna be more concerned about the Money situation....

    I think hes happy to be fighting Mosley, He don't look uncomfortable to me ??

    He criticizes everyone he fights, you ain't gonna be extra nice to the person your about to have a fight with are ya !!

    Hes just trying to unsettle Mosley.. I think Mosley's the one who looks like he ain't so sure about himself....

    I disagree . It's usually the person doing the most trash talking that is the nervous one.
    His body language seems to indicate he is not 100% satisfied with this fight happening, and I'm sure he would have preferred to fight somebody else had it not been for the public backlash he would have received..

    I agree with Ranser. Floyd never wanted to fight somebody on this level at this weight. His fight agains JMM was his free ppv money and that gravy train would have ground to a halt if he didn't sign a good opponent.

    Mosley isn't an in your face type of guy. Wait for the actual fight. PBF is going to realize shane is naturally viscious when the bell rings and not before. PBF is going to realize he doesn't have Hatton in the ring with him but something else altogether. PBF looks great now, but he will be on his bike ALL NIGHT against Sugar because whenever he stops moving its gonna be all Shane.

    Floyd is going to dominate this fight I think. I honestly think he's even struggling to buy his own statements that this is will be a close, competitive fight like he's been saying in the interviews. 9 rounds to 3.

    I see the opposite. I kinda think they secretly admire each other but are putting up a (weak) act to sell the fight. Look at the way they were arguing about who had the better suit. Suits?! Really? People who have real hatred for each other don't get corny like that.

    Floyd is not fighting the best?? Last time I checked Shane is a top 3 welterweight, arguably the best.

    Margarito? He's with Top Rank and at the time Floyd was offered more money to fight Baldomir. Pac turned down Shane to fight Cotto for more money yet nobody says a damn thing.

    Cotto? He's another Top Rank puppet. Bob won't negotiate with Floyd and vice versa.

    Paul Williams? Make a bigger name for himself then he can and will get a shot at the top dogs. The burden of proof is on him, not Pac or Floyd.

    Pacquiao? Again, another Top Rank guy. And Floyd was the first to step up to the plate to try and make the fight happen, not the other way around.

    Every other potential opponent for Floyd is a non elite fighter who needs to prove himself before he can get a chance.

    We never saw him act this way towards JMM so why Shane? He never had to bad mouth JMM to sell tickets so why do it with Shane?

    My guess is he knows it's actually a risky fight so he wants to try get into Shanes head and get any advantage he can.

    Maybe he is nervous !!

    But nerves win you fights, he probably is on edge and eager to get a message across to Mosley..

    He's an edgy outspoken person all the time though in everything he does.....

    It's because JMM has a bigger fanbase than Shane. Besides, Floyd was in a tune up fight with JMM so there was really no pressure to do anything. Shane is a great fighter but he puts people to sleep when he is on camera. Therefore Floyd feels he has to be theatrical especially when you consider the fact that he's trying to outsell the Pac-Clottey fight.
