How many times has he had his character called out in public by his opponent? I don't remember anyone accusing him of cheating before. I would be mad too.
That's the million dollar question. If he looks as smooth as he did against Marquez when he gets in with Pacquiao, what is he worried about? Why does he think the Pacquiao that beat Cotto is some invincible monster who needs to be hooked up to a dialysis machine to make sure he isn't cheating?
Ill give you props b/c your honest enough to say that PBF wins. Honestly I think that you dont realize how big of a problem PEDs are. In a way, I see where your coming from, b/c you think he wins either way, so why not fight. But PBF knows Pac uses, and doesnt want to take any chances. Theres a part of me that says, **** it Floyd, just take the fight anyway. But who knows?:huh
Floyd is just being Floyd. Nothing different. Manny apparently is acting out of sorts. Will that translate into an advantage in the ring? Maybe, maybe not. I don't expect it will on any significant level. Both are top flight professionals and will show up to do their thing.
I think Floyd sees something we don't. I know he is not a big fan of southpaws, but I think maybe he feels Pacquiao might be tougher than he previously thought. I still think he is too smart in the ring to lose to anyone who doesn't just maul the **** out of him.
Pac has the edge in this one. The fact that Floyd asked for stricter drug test t6ells us he is not confident of beating a "roid" Pac. During fight time, he will always have that doubt whether Pac has eluded detection of the "roid". He will be afraid to engage thinking that Pac might have slipped through the drug test, therefore, he might just walk through his punches like Pac did with Cotto. Have you ever wondered why Floyd has been so quiet for so long now, quite unusual for a loudmouth? He is probably thinking of raising another issue once mediation is finished, like going back to 154 pounds, 10 ounces gloves, as a concession for agreeing to less stringent blood test.
When Floyd stated he easily defeats the one-dimensional fighter, was there a qualifying statement??? Was there a statement wherein he stated that only if he is not using steroid? Because if I rememebr it right, he stated those statement when Pac won against Hoya or Hatton. But when it is his time to face the music, all of a sudden, he can only defeat a one-dimensional non-steroid user? It actually smells like fear.
i don't like floyd but i totally agree. mentally floyd is top class. i remember the build up to the hatton fight. at the weigh in floyd had hatton pumped up to ****, hatton wanted the fight there and then. the adrenaline was pumping for hatton. he probably didn't sleep that night, he was that fired up. by the time hatton came in the ring the next day, he looked noticably drained in my opinion. i've followed hatton a lot and he didn't look right going into the ring compared to his other fights imo. floyd not only beat him physically in the fight, he also beat him mentally before it imo. manny is also mentally top class. its gonna be very interesting to see if this is the usual relaxed, happy, pacquiao at the weigh in and before the fight starts.
Mayweather is a master at mind games. He has a way of getting under his opoents skin and making them think he underestamates them.
To me, Floyding asking 4 the olympic style tests shows he's wary. Pac not caving 2 Floyds demands probably got 2 Floyd also. I think Mayweathers accusations will motivate Manny but I also think Floyds wariness of Pac will bring the best out of him so 4 me neither guy has an advantage
What these guys are doing now is nothing but kill interest all over with all the nonsense talk. To be honest the false accusations Mayweather and co. are spreading is NOT helping Pacman give Mayweather this major fight, these guys aren't approaching them like professionals, they're approaching them like gangsters full of insults and bull**** accusations coming out of their asses with no proof whatsoever. Why would Pac deal with such a team professionally like true mature sportsmen and businessmen.
This goes beyond that, it's not trash talk and "smart" mind games here, this is nothing but killing the fight. It's okay to trash talk when it's all signed and ready to happen, what they did was an obvious attempt to kill it. From the beginning of the negotiations it has been 100% trash from Mayweather and his team with Pac saying nothing but "OKAY" and laughing till they started shitting on his career by calling him a cheater he finally exploded and had enough. First it was gloves then money %, weight..etc and when they noticed Pac and his team are negotiating and progressing well with no demands they decided to call them cheaters and put an end to it.
I think 99 times out of 100 Floyd always has the phsycological edge , however the way Freddie prepares them fighters in that Wild Card gym its hard to think anything or anybody can alter there presence of mind !!!!!! In summary Pacquiao will have the edge simply because Floyd wont and that will bother him , he's already looking for ways out !!!!!!
