This is in my opinion,one of the most underrated qualities. One of the reason for Floyd and Conor success is ability to handle pressure. And turn that into a strenght. one of the reasons Floyd has been so succesful is how he has been dealing with such enormous pressures. and i mean spotlight and everything. I don't think many fighters or boxers can fight to their full ability in situations where Floyd has been over a decade already. And many times when you have a fight. So many people tend to forget this. it takes so much to have cameras 24/7 around you. Especially if you are new to the situation. many great boxers won't come great because they can't handle the Floyd situation. this press conference was in my mind.great revelation how used Floyd is to this. In my opinion Conor looked clueless there. Was putting so many random lines. Was almost overwhelmed by the situation in my opinion.Floyd just welcomed Conor to his world(Floyd has fights with ODLH,Hatton,Pacquio,Canelo etc) where the crowd and pressures were nuts. I'm not a 7figure fighter.i'm not a 8figure.i'm 9figure fighter. Floyd may not be the greatest. But Floyd is greatest in situations like these.hope atleast somebody understand my point. finnish citizen and high as ****
Connor won't date press the action he's going to try and outbox mayweather. He's gonna get gatti'd if he comes forward
What? Point of thread is that ability to handle enormous pressure is a skill itself.and important one. this pretty much aplies to everyone in sports. We think it's only fighting and training. 2017 cameras everywhere. You have to be celebrity nowadays also. Only because it helps to handle situation like these. and i think everybody should agree that Floyd excells in these pressure situations. it'a another thing to fight Floyd in gym behind the scenes.than in the spotlight. And very few boxers are so used to this kind of spotlight.
I got you. Canelo froze on fight night because he couldn't do this at the time. This is a mental strength.
