    Typically Floyd keeps a straight face and is very relaxed. The De La Hoya fight was bigger/More risky than the Hatton fight and Floyd was calm from the start and Oscar was stiff and looked uncomfortable early.

      DLH is not a confident fighter either though imo.

I think thats why he steps aways from challenges, because he does not have full confidence in himself, although he has great enough ability to be as confident as anyone. I mean see how pensive Floyd was when he stepped into the ring against Hatton? he looked like the occasion was too big for him and when the fight started they were telling him to relax. See how relieved Floyd was when he won?

        Vic Darchinyan is naturally confident. Naseem Hamed WAS naturally confident, i dont believe Floyd is.

        What do you think
        Who gives a **** if Mayweather was confident when he stepped into the ring with Hatton? He got the win, by Knockout!!!!

          I dunno man, I wouldn't be too sure about that. His defensive style doesn't exude confidence to me.

          Like DK said, Oscar seemingly lacks confidence, too. I believe this is probably true, and I've seen Roach mention it.

              Remember the weigh in too Hatton vs Mayweather where Ricky started pushing up on Floyd he looked scared to me did he you?

                  I don't think so. Floyd's been fighting for over 15 years. I think its natural to him. He's been doing it all his life. I don't think he gets butterflies. I think when a camera is in his face he freezes up though.

                      Naw he didn't seem afraid to me but he wasn't about messing up his money doing something ****** either. Are you just talking about the Hatton fight? Because like I mentioned the Oscar fight was a bigger deal and Oscar was the bigger guy and even though Oscar may have confidence issues Floyd certainly didn't in that fight. Prior to those two fights to me Floyd has always seemed poised. Even when he was fight JLC the first time he was all smiles and some people had him down in the cards at that point. He also did like a excited jump for Joy after a tough round with Corley in witch I thought Corely might have hurt him. I think its more focus than anything. I do think he is super sensitive though and hates being criticized and that makes him super defensive and maybe standoffish to some. I think its a separate issue.
