Mayweather will frustrate Pacquiao

[Levcon8686]

Mayweather's turned down big money before, it's about the most money for the least risk. If he could fight Baldomir for 4.5 mil instead of Margarito for 8. You can't be the best ever if you lose.

Where's the source for the 4.5 million numbers? I'd be surprised if Floyd got less than 8 mill for Baldomir.

What proof do you have that says I'm incorrect?

Since he has fought through adversity for most of his life, why wouldn't Manny's mental strength be greater than Floyd's? He shows no emotion whatsoever in the ring whether hurt, happy, or tired. He trains like a demon to take pain without displaying it.

So what makes you think Mayweather has greater mental strength? What has he been through in life to convince you that he has great mental strength? And why would his clownish antics get into Manny's head? The boy is pathetic. Anyone but a complete and utter moron would allow it to affect their composure.

Both have great mental strength in my opinion. Floyd might appear to have an overly childish ego, but it's that ego that propels him onto performances on the biggest stage. The fights where people speculated the most that he would lose, he produced some of his best showings. Against Corrales he was the betting underdog- utterly destroyed him. The rematch against Castillo, after a razor close first fight and being given all sorts of problems by JLC- beats him convincingly second time around. He was always calm and in control of both Hatton and De La Hoya, where his opponents were the ones getting frustrated and ended up making mistakes. You don't go 40-0 with good opposition without having strong mental strength.
