This may be the biggest question of them all. Pac fans may not want to admit it but even with the fight not happening, I think Floyd got in Pac's head a little and that may benefit Floyd in the future. Floyd has been great at that in pretty much every single fight but Shane is a mentally tough cat. I think the 24/7 will be great and should have 6 episodes. I honestly believe that Shane gets under Floyd's skin a little more than anyone else can. I can tell some of those slick comments that Shane makes bothers him and I think Shane will be saying alot of stuff like that in the leadup to this fight and on 24/7. With that being said, we all know that Floyd is one of the best trash talkers and he now has a trump card like no other. Like he's never had before. The steroid story is already big in the public's eye after all this Pac stuff, its pretty much official that they are going to test for this fight, and sadly Shane has admitted to doing shit.
I think Floyd may be cool if Shane stays cool but Shane wont. He's going to make a slick comment and laugh like a nerd and then Floyd is going on the attack and wont stop. Thats not even including Senior who has already been on Ellie's show talking about how Shane has to get all that shit out his system 1st. Then you will have Shane denying it like he's done recently which will make it worst for him and all the reporters will ask him stuff about it in every interview. That shit is going to drive him crazy and make him want to kill Floyd which is what Floyd really wants. The good thing is that Shane has Richardson who is very spiritual and knows how to calm situations and get cats not to pay attention to stuff but Floyd can be so annoying that I dont think what Naz does will work.
Then you have the added bonus onto it. Floyd talking non stop about Shane on the roids and then demanding the test will also have people starting to talk about the Pac situation again. Then Floyd will not only trash talk but he will also play the sympathetic role at times against Mosley and talk about how pure he has always been and how he just wants to clean up the sport. Once he says all that stuff, the mainstream finds out that Mosley was on it, they both do the test, and Floyd wins then it puts alot of pressure on Pac. Not only pressure to take the test but just that Floyd is making these cats look bad with all the roid talk period while he has nothing to hide. I think that shit will definitely get under Shane's skin early and it will be boiling by time the fight comes around and will have a carry over effect to the Pac fight and negotiations.
Mayorga/Vargas Press conference was funny as hell! The best part was when fat ass Vargas took off his shirt and started flexin like he was ripped!
That shit on Showtime was so funny when Mayorga told Vargas that he looked like his son's ass. Round & soft. Mayorga was so good that even Vargas use to laugh at the shit
Thats not true at all. I forgot who was fighting but I think it was Tito-Hopkins and someone was interviewing Vargas about all the trash talk and he said that he doesnt think it effects Tito because of the language barrier. How Hopkins may say something funny but then people have to tell Tito what he said and vice versa. Its the same thing with Mayorga. That shit dont bother a regular american fighter when they cant even understand what he's saying and then when someone interpets it, its never as funny or the diss isnt quite as bad

That shit aint in the open. You are talking about us hardcore fans but most mainstream cats know nothing about it. Again though, even for hardcore people Shane still gets upset because he still denies it even though he admitted it. Thats why it will get under his skin. If it was just a straight admission then it wouldnt be so bad but he still acts like he knew nothing. It would be like finding out Pac is guilty but them saying Ariza did it on his own. Floyd would keep going at that shit and Shane will get defensive if you ask me
HBO has spoken up about it enough in character pieces on Shane before his fights that I'm sure the general public is aware of his past scandal and admission. Shane has already heard a million excuses from Floyd on why Floyd refuses to fight him. He's weathered the storm and is now getting the fight, or at least I hope he is. I don't think any of the rubbish from Floyd's mouth will bother him by now. I still think Shane loses but not due to being psyched out.
Mayorga is the best shit talker ever and he couldn't get in Shane's head, Floyd won't be able to do it.

imo flyd is shit at shit talking, he isnt good at all
look at this dumb ****** killing himself
Nah, we all know Floyd freezes up alot on camera and cant talk well. Im talking about when its naturally flowing in the pressers or on 24/7 when he's speaking his mind. Thats when he will get Shane
I think Shane really believes in his mind that Floyd has been ducking him, so I'm not too sure if mind games would affect him. He had the cajones to roll up on him after the JMM fight so I doubt it. He knows Floyd can't hurt him and he's almost at the end of his career. Worse case scenario for him is that he loses in a decision. At this point in his career, I think all he's thinking about is making that paper!
agreed:fest30:
Shane's past misdeeds are long ago out in the open. He's moved on and the public has forgiven him. That shit has nothing to do with this fight. Floyd must ask for the tests like he did with Pac so he doesn't look shook. Shane will pass and the fight is on. Shane's never been an emotional kind of fighter. And having brother Nazim with him only helps. Floyd must defeat Shane with fisticuffs mate. His mouth will not help him.

but nothing cuts deeper than steroid talk espically when Mosley has admitted but hasnt admitted it at the same time

Amidst nothing but personal problems Shane destroyed Tony last year. I doubt PBF gets to him mentally. Shane has been boxing since he was a kid. He knows better than to let trash talk get to him.
but nothing cuts deeper than steroid talk espically when Mosley has admitted but hasnt admitted it at the same time
Ok so PBF is great at getting into peoples head. How good would he be if he didnt get into their heads before fighting them.?
Does he need to get into the heads to have a chance of beating them? Cant he beat people without mind games?
Just fight is all i say

His wife that divorced him could not get into his head.
You have to be shitting me. Jin controlled this guy's life for most of their marriage.
They don't like each other to beging with so I think there will be some heated 24/7 clips. Can't wait for it.
all of those answers are good but this is a whole different story. If you even look at his interviews and someone questions him about roids or that he's lying about something, you can tell it really bothers him. Floyd will be way worst than that. I even said in my post that Shane is a mentally tough dude that stays cool but this is like the 1 topic that drives him crazy and I think its the same for most atheletes when you basically call them a cheater. The Mayweathers will eat that up
Shane must just be happy to get a mega payday at this point of his career.Just to get Mayweather in the ring and the biggest payday of his career is a huge result. If he wins he will have another mega payday match with Pacman. It is all sunny side, I don't see Shane getting too concerned with Floyd's mind games. The only reason he is getting the fight is because the Pacman fight fell out of bed and he does not have to be concerned about getting past Berto because the earthquake in Haiti finished that fight off.Two weird twists of fate have delivered Shane what he really wanted any mind games Mayweather pulls has to be seen as all good.
