Is the most overrated and overused term on this board when it comes to a Floyd fight. Why do his fans think hes some master magician at mind games? We never really see this term used for any other fight than a Mayweather fight.
Where does this garbage stem from?
floyd doesn't need to get into alvarez's head he's already got into his body(gay?) draining a guy is the most powerful advantage you can get. canelo will fight tentatively because he knows he won't have the stamina he normally does(lol)
This gamesmanship has been around since boxing and it's in other sports too. The way Canelo's team reacted remind of the Ortiz fight when Ellerbe went into the dressing room and asked them to rewrap his hands. Pure gamesmanship and it worked. Ortiz got frustrated and it cost him the fight.
I think Floyd has got into TS head, jesus look at his name, sig, everything is dedicated to one man
come on who does this type of ****?
Also glad someone just owned him
This^^^^^^^^^^
Floyd gets in thier head in the ring. Not before the fight, the only fighter who I felt gave Mayweather too much respect was Marquez prior to fighting him. The whole respect thing changes the fight attitude. AS OF RIGHT NOW? I think Canelo and his team have no respect for Floyd and his team. They are going to fight their fight unless May can make Canelo think otherwise , which is what he has the ability to do. Against Cotto I noticed he didnt have such an effect. Maybe because they have had their beef going on since 2007 on the come up.
In fact i felt that May for his first time in a while showed a great amount of respect to Cotto. Trout handled Cotto and showed no respect or mercy and we seen what happened there.

I agree. If Floyd beats him then he beats him. Canelo is a smart calm professional fighter with no fear and Floyd may beat him in the ring but not because he got into his head.
Floyd doesn't need to get into Alvarez' head to gain an advantage
Floyd talks trash to hype up fights, not to antagonize his opponents
his material is too contrived and insecure sounding for that
and Alvarez can be as pissed off as he wants coming into this fight
won't matter, he's getting his ass schooled all fight long

The mind games are their to remind them they're fighting the best guy in the world its when they are in the ring and its reality they find themselves 4 rounds down and they lose hope
Can you point me to all the posts about other fighters getting inside their opponents heads? Because nobody ever really says anything regarding it.

Hey its not Angels fault that khan let him get the better of him, if Angel want to check his raps and team Molina allows it then it ok. Khan has to be mentaly and phiscaly really for anything. If Angel got inside of his head that aint nobody fault but his own, its all part of the boxing game.
You are right. But he is also quite effective at pushing buttons of young fighters and getting them riled up. How much did his "trolling" get inside of Khan's head and caused Khan to be too aggressive, we don't know, but there is obviously some bad blood between these guys. I know I would like to watch the hand wrapping of khan because if Angel is there something is going to happen.
Yeah, Angel needs to oversee the wrapping of Khan's hands. Because we all know what a brutal KO artist Khan is. I mean in the past Khan has broken orbital bones, ribs and has had opponents pissing blood. If Danny hadn't have got that lucky shot in Khan would have sent him to the hospital. Maaaan this is BS. Angel is just going to go in there talk crap and get into Khan's head. Can't stand this *******.
He might get into Khan's head again but Khan should be used to it by now. Anyway, Khan will have his way with Molina, who doesn't really have the power to trouble him.
No, Angel is specifically pushing their buttons.
He knows Danny's style, and hes getting in their head to open them up.
What Leonard has said and has become common knowledge is that Leonard fought the wrong fight against Duran, letting Roberto get into his head with his mental warfare, SRL wanting to prove his manhood, etc...and fighting too much on the inside and trading too much.
I agree to an extent, but I think Duran's footwork and pressure forced him to do so. While Leonard has gotten a reputation as this dancer, the only fights in which I saw him really dance on his toes and fight on the backfoot and move consistently, were the Duran rematch, and Hagler. Leonard was mostly a flat-footed boxer who circled, boxed behind his jab, in an extremely relaxed style, and opened up with quick devastating combos (and finishing hurt guys with the best of them). Duran was all over Leonard like Charlie Sheen on a whore. What do you do when the guy is all over you, swarming, on the ropes? You fight out. There were times when Leonard had success boxing and circling, and leaping in with brilliant lead left hooks on Duran's face. Eventually Duran would get to him though with his pressure and slippery moves and force him to fight.
While you can say that Leonard did fight the wrong fight, it's not as if he changed his style for this first fight. What made it the wrong plan is that he DIDN'T CHANGE HIS STYLE in Montreal. He changed his style for the rematch (Duran's party habits are another story) and fought the right fight that time.
Lmaooo zab going to get ktfo they already got in Zabs head
Yeah but Zab has to also maintain his composure and fight smart.Angel Garcia telling the truth about Zab might also be a way for Garcia to get in Zab`s head so Zab can go out there and fight reckless then boom Garcia catches Zab and Ko`s him.It worked for Tarver against Roy Jones after Tarver said "got any excuses tonight Roy".I believe that was done so Roy would lose his composure and fight reckless.
I wonder what angle Bernard will take with Pascal, how will he go at him. Will he play the young angle, will he talk about how he lost to a seemingly one dimensional Froch, will he point out the things that Pascal doesnt do well. Cant wait for the pressers.
b-hop gets inside his head and wins the fight imo
You are welcome.
That's something I've also noticed.
Someone the other day actually said that the term "Pure boxer" was formed by Mayweather fans in some conspiracy to give Mayweather credit.
You know most fans dont care about the history of the sport... so sad...
It's not only referred to Floyd and his fights as you state. Hopkins is notorious for getting into his opponent's heads. Recently, Angel Garcia was inside Khan's head and made him fight out of character and it cost him dearly. Duran did it to Leonard in their first fight. Ali did it to all his opponents. Tyson would instill fear into most of his opponents and they'd lose the fight before they even stepped foot inside the ring. And so on and so forth, but of course make everything about Floyd.

Your infatuation with what I post is even worse.
I don't give two ****s about what you post about. Why are you worried about mine?
This is the first time I've responded to you ever I believe :lol1:
Only recently noticed your constant non-stop posting about Floyd.

Your infatuation with Mayweather is strange and obsessive.
