This is why I laugh when people here say that boxers have no fear aren't afraid of anyone!
LOL I know what you mean. " They fight for a living they're not scared to fight anyone ". I laugh at those people who say that. I box as an amateur have over 15 fights and the nervousness never goes away. You just get better at dealing with it.
The reason is if you fight you actually know how it feels to be in the ring with another man who wants to knock your head off so you actually know the risks involved and how lonely it can be up there. Guys who say that have never really step in the ring. I bet %99.9 of boxers get nervous before fights except for maybe psychopaths that happen to box.
Rios is a funny dude but he is an obvious schit talker. As far as him as a boxer he definitely doesn't run from a challenge and has a chin of steel. I'm sure he was nervous as hell before the Pac fight because he knew what was about to happen to him. He took it like a man and lived to fight another day...see Floyd, it really isn't that bad.

If you analyze Floyd, There's 2 things he does when he's nervous.
1. During interviews when asked questions related to Pacquiao or questions he's uncomfortable with, he always reaches for his cup and takes a sip of water.
2. During face to face weigh in's, he always chews his gum extra hard and fast.
I do that before a fight as well if its a street fight or amatuer bout (in the past) I used to chew come hard and fast cause the adrealine is pumping and you got the jitters cause you about to face the unkown no matter how bad you think you are or good you are you still have to do it.
LMAO!

Josh Clottey Shat himself and was nervous before the Pacquiao fight he blamed it on the banku stew but it was really nerves.
I cant see why someone wouldn't get the butterflies going into a fight like that. I think every fighters gets nervous leading up to the fight. Some show it while others is better at hiding it. I mean u're about to get into the ring and throw it down with the guy across from u.
LMAO!

I believe it. Then he cried after it. Talked so much crap and then cried like a baby.
Floyd Hype??? I'll wait for a better source
You stole my comment http://www.nocturnar.com/forum/attachments/perfiles/27000d1337456629-lol-gif-jim_carey_lol_gif.gif
well, floyd can relate bambam! even in interviews he doesnt know how to talk about pacquiao without sounding stupid. I like bambam and i never wanted him to fight pacquiao, well, its an opportunity though, bambam vs broner would be awesome.
he gets a lot of hate around here because hes actually a decent fighter. He gets hate because he fought Pacquiao and loss. He gets hate because of his race im sure from certain posters as well.
I dunno about race being a factor.
Many people like hate Rios, also might/ love Margarito, Canelo, Marquez.
I just don't see it.
