    Hi guys


    In recent press conferences and the preview of Max Kellerman’s HBO Face Off, it has become apparent that Floyd Mayweather is taking a far more reserved attitude towards his opponent compared to most of his fights,(although I must admit that he was quite mellow towards Juan Manuel Marquez).


    Now in my opinion this not necessarily a bad quality, it’s just a little surprising as many boxing observers believe Victor Ortiz to be one of Floyd’s biggest threats since his return.



    So my question lies here...why does he seem so much more composed & relaxed than normal? Maybe previous bad press regarding his court issues? Maybe the fans backlash for not fighting Pacquiao after the Mosley win, maybe a new sense of maturity? Or maybe he believes this will be an easy fight?


    Well in any case I do believe his money Mayweather persona will show up at some point during HBO’s 24/7 series, I would just like to hear what you guys all think.


    Thanks

    He doesnt feel threatened by Ortiz.

    He knows Ortiz doesnt have a chance in hell.

    I think it's a mixture of maturity and confidence. Also, he can't exactly act the fool considering there are greater challenges out there than Ortiz, whom PBF seems to have handpicked for this next fight.

    He's not fighting Pacquiao. It's as simple as that.
