    He doesn't watch tapes of his fighters supposedly. Who knows if it's true. I doubt it is though. But just because he says he doesn't watch tapes of a fighter he is fighting doesn't mean he doesn't watch boxing at all. What does it matter?

    He's a big fan of Pacquiao. There's a clip floating around where he was jumping for joy when PAC knocked Morales down.

    No doubt he watches videos before fights

    He downloads an opponent real fast

    With ghost he had him downloaded and figured out after round 1
    Mosley after round 2

    However, a crazy flurry artist with ko power
    Like pacman

    You can't anticipate his power shots.

    I can understand why floyd wouldn't fight pacquiao

    Too dangerous

    Because he's promoting fights he also says he eats junk food and whatever in training camps but I'm pretty sure mostly his diet is pretty good he is never out of shape. Maybe he doesn't watch tapes as other fighters do but he watches enough boxing so that he has probably seen his opponents fight a few times

    He says he doesn't watch tapes of fighters in preparation for a fight. That doesn't mean he doesn't watch boxing.

    Exactly. It's like in football. There's a big difference between doing film study where there's the coaches film and you're breaking down your opponents strenghts, weaknesses, and tendencies, and watching a game at your house on a Sunday. Everyone knows Mayweather watches boxing. I'm not sure how much, if any, film study he does though.

    He said Pac was the second best fighter after him in '07.

    I'm guessing he had money on him.

    It's just a way to get people to think he's extra special. He's been caught several times. For example on All Access he says he doesn't study tapes. Then later says something along the lines of, "I don't see anything special about Guerrero. He's a dirty fighter. He has no fancy foot movement."

    He even physically mocks Guerrero's inside fighting style. How do you know unless you studied him, Floyd?

    Same thing with junk food. Sure, he'll indulge a few times. But I think he works with a nutritionist to help him receive what his body needs. There is no way he eats fast food everyday and be able to maintain the kind of energy he has for heavy training.

    he is bullshitting, he was asked what RG does well, he replied hold and hit behind the head, he must have seen him fight, maybe doesnt analyse it to the extent of others, but he does watch his opponents fights
