    I don't get this ****.

    Honestly, I was so impressed by Mayweather's performance against Mosley, that I gave Pac no chance at all to beat him.

    So why is this guy actin so scared?

    It makes no sense to me.

    He's probably thinking that he wont knock Pac out and over the 12 I see Pac out working him and winning a close SD.

    Basically, he isnt scared for his safety, he's scared about losing the O.

    But you're not the one gonna face Pac. It's Floyd. He's scared.

    He's not scared of Pac nor is Pac scared of him. I think both are scared to lose to each other.

    although mosley is very dangerous he is also been exposedn a few times recently and floyd knew that

    mosley did look amazing against margarito but defence wise wasnt great

    i think floyd even thought mosley would be a much tougher fight than it was but with pacman whether or not he thinks pac man is juicing he is seriously worried about him

    and also mosley appeared to have no legs or coordination in that fight

    whereas pacquiao has been killing everyone he's been facing l8ly

    even his dad said he doesnt want floyd fighting pacquaio

    i doubt pacquaio is scared to lose as he lost before so it wouldnt b like his 0 is gone

    just too much of a risk for floyd to take cuz if he wins people may say well pacquiao been outboxed before but floyd is scared of losing his 0

    I think the fear is in more than lossing that 0, Floyd and his fans have put such a higher expectation on Floyd in arguing his P4P status, they use the stats to support and some what promote Floyd, but those stats they do use are against either older fighters in the twilight of their careers or fighters who just were not that good.

    if he steps up here and fights Pac and either losses or looks vunerable, then perhaps Media and fans question all that has been said and done regarding Floyd, its more than just lossing that 0 I think it has to do with lossing to a man who really did start out at a lighter weight than you did and could potentially really be better than you even though he has a couple of losses.

    So honestly I just think its more less about Floyd is afraid to lose that meal ticket he has worked for...

    he just said he's definatley taking a year or two off and not fighting again this year despite being in negotiations to make fight of the decade and earn a huge amount of money

    he isn't scared.

    Don't read into every word Floyd says in an interview as the gospel truth. Floyd can say he's retiring today, and announce a fight tomorrow.

    Because he knows Pacquiao is totally different beast to Mosley and in the back of his mind he's wondering "what if Manny agrees to the tests, and still fights 'extraordinary"?

    floyd earned me ton of respect with the way he fought shane. majority of viewer and followers just like me were surprised that he was the one who pressed for the fight!


    for me, floyd asked for that OSDT coz he just cant believe what pac was doing while going up in weights and wondering if pac might be cheating. not that because he's scared. and most of us never imagined that pac will be like that. i just remember when pac was just fighting at featherweight and majority here thinks that Juan Diaz will be too much for pac much more dlh/hatton/cotto/clottey now he's being fitted against floyd.

    thinking of those fights 4 years ago was insane.

    People were saying he was scared of Mosley too before the fight was made, claiming he was backed into a corner etc.

    I don't see any reason to think he's scared of Pacquiao even if he is convinced he's a drugs cheat, lets not forget that he was the one still at the negotiating table when team Pac ran off to arrange a fight with Clottey.

    He didn't...he said the same thing after his bout with Mosley but I can't find the video. Since then, it is known there have been negotiations between both camps.

    The majority of people never seem to believe what comes out of Mayweather's mouth...so why are they starting to now???
