    I dont think may is physically scared of pac, but I do think that floyd cherishes his 0 and has insecurities about pac being the one to take it away

    I agree with Bradley.

    Mayweather wouldn't be asking for additional tests otherwise. Fights are happening week in, week out based on the official procedures, so he is the only one holding the fight up, if the procedure is adequate for every other fighter to be fighting regularly, why isn't it for Floyd?

    I think he's waiting it out, that he will eventually fight Manny, but I think it would be silly to say he was not apprehensive about! fighting him.

    Could be also that the resistance Pac/his team showed during the first negotiations actually strengthened Floyd's suspicion that he was juicing.

    possibly
    but I think that floyd has seen the vneer of invincibility come off fighters after a first loss so far into their career and really put them down the tubes

    All floyd does is talk about ppv numbers and money but when potentially the biggest fight ever in ppv terms and cash is on the line floyd comes out with ive lost the urge at the moment, even though he only fought once in 2010!! Floyd didnt even try to make the fight, he flat out even refused to enter talks, what else are people gona say?

    yeah..since when is boxingtalk a respectable quote?

    funny how floydettes keep little tidbits like this. I bet if Floyd tweeted that he took a ****, these guys would circle that quote as well.

    the point is money talks, and bull**** walks. floyd is both.

    I'll forgive Bradley for that boring fight now and those headbutts after this honest statement.

    I think Floyd would beat Manny too, but having seen the video of him saying that his game is 90% mental and 10% skills, I think he or his team really don't fancy it or at least see it as very high-risk.

    I think Floyd was unnerved early in his fight with Hatton, who managed to rush and trouble him for a few rounds, he was off balance and staggering a few times and like he said in that video, it's a mental thing with him, it can affect his game if he's not 100% tuned, focussed, and confident. He had the jitters early in that Hatton fight and maybe, just maybe he fears Pacquiao could humiliate him with an early stoppage before he gets going ...

    Every time I hear Bradley speak, he comes across as honest and confident without seeming arrogant. Just a cool guy. He doesn't do that 'trying so hard to be the nice guy in front of the camera' thing that Ortiz seems to do, and even Khan on occasion. He doesn't go to the opposite extreme either (the Mayweather Jr juvenile routine). He just seems to be...himself, with no frills or marketing. He acknowledges his own weaknesses, but notes his own strengths, and he's willing to fight the very best.

    but I clearly remember last January Floyd saying that he would kick Pacquiao's punk ass but all he wants is his random test that they are BOTH taking:patsch
