    A bum like Chavez Jr might lack confident but proven undefeated fighters that have taken on real challenges lack no confidence. Look at Cotto ring walk in the Margarito ( or before against Mosley and Judah) you could see the swager and ****yness in him. Then look after that fight he did not look the same, his swager was not there anymore. Floyd might have cherry picked in the last few years but before that he took on some bad mofos at 130-135. He was taken to the limit by Castillo and while some had him losing he got the win and then rematched the mofo and beat him clearly. That is not a sign of a man that lacks confident or believes he can be beat.
    Like I said in previous post that I don't think Floyd lacks confidence. He seems like a confident Mofo to me. But, what I am saying is that being undefeated does not mean you are confident. Dariusz M fought tough fighters but if he was really confident he would of came to America and fight Roy. Same thing for Roy if he was confident he would go to Germany and handle business. I don't believe the whole being undefeated you are confident and then you lose a fight and all of sudden you lack confidence and you don't have a swagger anymore. B-Hop never ever lost confidence he kept his swagger, Winky never lost confidence. Pac stayed with confidence, EM, MAB, JMM confident always had some swagger. I can't say Vargas lost confidence he always had that macho toughness willing to go out on his shield swagger about him. Whitaker never lost confidence and that man always had swagger. Ali never lost confidence. I just think the whole being undefeated=confidence is overrated. Is all about your mental aspect. You can be undefeated and have doubts about yourself. And, you can also be mentally tough were a loss does not affect you at all. Is how you deal with a certain situation that brings confidence.

      He's actually a credited reporter than Michael Marley (Examiner) but he seem to be very hateful towards anything Mayweather, He was even worse in 2007 when Mayweather was about to fight Hatton.

          Totally agree with you here, How you deal with situations brings more confidence than normal.

              Exactly I just think being undefeated=confident is totally overrated. If you was confident when you was undefeated and as soon as you lose you not confident anymore. Then IMO you was not mentally strong in the first place.

                I have seen no evidence of any mental edge.
                Also this "writer" is not only biased, he is ****** and cannot write for ****.

                  I dont follow this writer's logic.

                  Floyd is freaked out by how good Pac is, so he agrees to fight him?

                  Boxing has too many biased and plainly mediocre writers. Its just sad.

                    no fighter will ever have a mental edge on floyd because he's too ****y--and his confidence in his skillset is 2nd to none---so the only mental edge that there is, is floyd on pac because the pressure is on pacman at the end of the day---he is the champion defending his title---he is the number one p4p fighter in people's eyes--he has dismantled opponents better than floyd has---he is on a high right now---floyd however is the showstopper---just ask gatti and baldomir and hatton and the other fighters that were suped up to be the guy to beat him and he always proves just how better he is than them all---pac is no different--it will be a whitewash on behalf of floyd--this fight won't go 12 rounds and pac is getting dominated--floyd has the best position in boxing---he won't get his just do as long as that other guy is in the wing---there's always someone else---but floyd just does what he does and beats that guy after that guy is made into a cannon---floyd is so smart---

                      He didnt gain any advantage over Floyd......
