    He respect Hernandez a lot, even went as far as paying for his funeral.

    He respect Miguel Cotto a lot, in the interview he look like a really good human being ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x48N5XpqGF0 )

    Why does he talk **** on some boxers like for example Shane Mosley or Victor Ortiz ? :huh

    It's all about who respected him. He'll pay back respect in return with one exception...

    he treated you how you deserved to be treated.


    Hernandez, JMM & Cotto were gentleman in the sport of boxing so he acted as so.

    Guerro, Ortiz, Shane were clowns

    hatton & odlh really don't count cause floyd was trying to become popular

    its possible with delahoya and mosley that he felt disrespected that when he was chasing them trying to make a name for himself and had earnt himself a fight with one of the 2 they both avoided him. i mean its only business but maybe floyd took it personally

    Because the fight sales it self.
    Its the same reason why he didn't talk **** about Canelo. Floyd knew that there was a large interest in a fight between him and Canelo and didn't need to talk trash in order to sale it.
    Its the same reason why they're not doing multiple city tour to promote this upcoming fight. They fight sales itself, there is no need to hype the fight up.

    Because a fighter talks trash against another opponent does not mean that they hate or don't respect their opponents. Its simply business.

    Quit being a sensitive biitch and watch the fight.

    Which is cause of jealousy? Reservations? I dunno... Either way, he's been very quiet so far during negotiations and during training... Which says all, and he's working hiss ass off line his life depends on it. That's respect, so I give him credit for that.

    I don't know a thing about each fighters prep during camp, except hear say and what we all hear, but going by training camp reports as a pac fan, I'm going from my 50/50 stance that this renewed optimism had me on post Algieri-Bradley/ maidana 1 & 2, back to my previous idea floyd 8-4, or something like that... I hope I'm wrong.
