Floyd's new demeanour...

Drunk Punch

Anyone noticed how Floyd is conducting himself in the Cotto pressers? Not bad mouthing his opponent, if anything talking him up, being more respectful and humble, even talking in a more measured and mature way.

Is Floyd finally ready to shed the Money persona?

Facade

His persona has nothing to do with it. He knows people are annoyed by the fact Manny and Floyd still aren't facing eachother. He wants to avoid that people think he's ducking and choosing opponents everybody knows he would beat. He's doing everything he can to make people think that he's picked a good opponent. So it's just strategy.

if cotto gets outta line or says some slick ish, expect the "super villian money" mayweather to appear. floyd is trying to break records with this fight and the build up has to be crazy for that to happen.

Meh, I just think he's doing that because of the public perception of him

I also think it has to do with Cotto's personality. For some reason I think Floyd is a bit flustered by the void that is Cotto. His response is emulation, though not necessarily voluntary.

Shane explained this behavior of Floyd's on their 24/7

He's fighting a man that most people in the sport respect, so I expected a respectful Floyd.

If anything, the crazy stuff will be on 24/7, but I don't expect much of it.

Yea I think he's only doing it for the Courts. Even though I do actually believe that he respects Cotto. Floyd beat a woman, so im pretty sure he's not trying to play the overly aggressive person on TV cause that would just give the courts more reason to lock him.

He getting older. He did it in the Ortiz fight until Ortiz started barking.

I still expect the brass sh1t for 24/7

It's nothing new,he's been like this since the Marquez fight.

He will get more aggressive as the fight draws closer.
