    Floyd is focussed and on point. The only person who looks off is Manny. He actually thanked Floyd at the weigh in!

    Floyd uses major tranquillizers, that is why he looks focused and it takes 5 minutes for him to finish simple sentence.

    Floyd looked focused and professional. Pac looked like an excitable child who had way too much sugar.

    Regardless, does anyone really think this fight will be won or lost as a result of weigh in nerves or how many screaming sheeple Manny brought with him?

    How did Ricky Hatton do when he brought over half of Manchester?

    The fight is won on the night in the ring not during the weigh in or staredown, and all this talk of fighter's demeanor and body language is pure bs.

    They both looked nervous. They just handled it differently.

    Manny giggled like a school girl eating bon bons and drinking sugar water, unable to look Floyd in his eyes. I have nothing against thanking God and having faith. But, this guy was on extra, with his Robert Guerrero impression. Or should I say...Robert Tildon. "God will deliber him into my hand." Well, Manny might become an atheist after tonight.

    Floyd looked like a damn cigar store indian up there...stoic and as focused as we've ever seen him. But, under all that TMT gear he's sweating his as$ off. He has everything to lose from this fight, other than monetarily.

    like i said, floyd already knows if he is going to win decisively or lose badly just because of the presence of ariza in his camp (and also memo).

    I don't think it's ariza....I don't believe he thinks he's going to win to be honest...Not from a fan view just from a honest view! Did you hear Lennox Lewis them interview after they did the fighters meeting with him.....They all said the same things after the meeting about Floyd. They all think he was nervous and just want the money....which at this point he's at the end I don't think the "0" matters anymore!

    Of course he was nervous. I said that. But, he was "focused" on the matter at hand.

    Floyd has the confidence of being the bigger guy for once, in a very long time and believing he is stronger (which he is). Even though he is the betting favorite to win. He is not the fan favorite to win. He has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove because of that. He is not worried about winning the boxing match. Manny can't outbox him. Floyd wants to win the fight in spectacular fashion.

    Manny looked intimidated. Being dodgy with his eyes and all that giggling was an attempt to hide it. It's very obvious. Pacquiao is used to hearing people say he is the guy that will take Floyd's 0, almost like it's preordained. He believes it is God's plan, more than he believes in his own ability to do it.

    I'd give Floyd the edge in the stare down. Not that it means that much. Both these guys will perform under the lights.

    nervous :patsch scared :patsch

    WTF were you guys born yesterday? He's been doing this for 20 years.

    If anything, I think the crowd cheering for Manny bothered him since it was heavily pro-Pacquiao. After that he went into serious mode and the look he gives Manny is wait til tomorrow. The crowd was more one-sided than the Canelo fight. Either way, Pac won the weigh in, which is nothing more than fodder for his fan boys. No big deal.
