    That kind of confidence can't hurt.

    Do I agree with this? course not.

    Does it help Floyd? yes. Floyd puts himself on a pedastal and has to match his own expectations, he has to catch up to his mouth. When you have all that money, pressure needs to come from somewhere. Floyd puts it on himself, which is admirable really.

    It's kind of like Hatton in the run up to the PBF fight, nobody doubted that Hatton thought that he was going to win, despite the talent disparity.

    Self-belief and confidence is almost as important as actual talent when it comes to the highest reaches of the game.

    I don't think anything a boxer says about his own achievements is a step too far. Let them live up to their own expectations.

                What you just said is thread worthy. People simply do not understand the benefits of having a huge ego.

                      39 have tried, 39 have failed. he's undefeated - his style and technique have caused boxers to study it and try to find ways to beat it. none have been sucessful up to this day.

                      one of a kind. floyd mayweather.


                      Hes not undefeated. He lost to Castillo.
