The guy is just too good, i cant think of a guy even close to him skills wise as a boxer. Pacman fight has to happen though because they are easily the best two guys out there in boxing.

Yeah. To be honest I would have to say this was Floyds best performance Ive ever seen. Ive seen him dominate a fight more than this, but not against this calliber of opponent. And yeah, seeing him actually coming forward was cool.
On a side note, he REALLY should let go of this whole "Money Mayweather" persona that he holds onto. Especially before fights. Ive always talked about how Floyd makes himself out to a big piece of shit before a fight. And I understand what he is doing. I know he is TRYING to build up controversy for the fight because after he wins, he always credits the other boxer as a great fighter...when for weeks before he claims that they arent shit. But this guy would have SO many fans if he didnt come across as such a dickhead. Ali talked a lot of shit, and he had his critics...but he also came across as entertaining and funny. Not to mention he was involved in wars in the ring. Mayweathers style of shit talk just makes him look like an ass...and it has only cost him fans. He's a big draw in boxing, but not as big as some others have been...who were actually just nice guys lol. He's probably sell more tickets by creating another image of himself instead of the one he has been trying to create for years.

As well as to create buzz, I think he keeps that as a protection barrier. Fighters will know how to get in his mind if he starts being humble and talking like he ain't the best. Also, for CONFIDENCE. He needs to stay in that kinda headspace so he can shrug shit off easily and keep focused..

I could see if its for himself. I mean, if somehow it puts HIM in a comfort zone or somethin. But the shit is just annoying and kinda played. You can call it with every fight. Weeks before....here goes Floyd, he's gonna run his mouth and try to totally disrespect the other fighter. Brag and boast about how great HE thinks he is....then after the fight....talk about how great of a champion and a fighter the other guy is. If you wanna create buzz, it wont be by doing that. It would be by genuinly being insane (Tyson) or having a real beef with the other fighter. Other then that...continuously talking about your opponent being a bum...and not anywhere near as good as you, doesnt exactly make people wanna watch it.
One thing I will give him, at least he stopped telling the world he's gonna fuck these guys up...and beat em up, etc. Cus that was pissing people off. Mayweather saying "Ima punish him...Ima hurt him..." etc. Then you have the typical unanimous decision on points with his opponents face looking like its still round 1.

lol, after the fight is over, he doesn't need the shield. He can began to wind down and relax until his next fight is signed. It's at least nice to see he does have respect for his opponents in the post-match interviews.

Arum said he wants Pacquiao to have his next fight in Sept-Dec. That gives him enough time to detox off w/e enhancements he may or may not be on... I don't see why he won't take the drug tests.. If you aint on nothing, why is it such a big deal.. It isn't any kind of defamation, I think Floyd just wants an even fight, and that's the proper way to make sure he gets one..
