    Floyd is off his promo game. Did anyone notice

    that all he did was throw little jabs at Shane, Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya. He just came off as bitter instead of his usual promo super confident self.

    He was stuttering, fishing for words and there was no flow or rythm to his speech. He was all over the place. The bounce and the confidence is lacking a bit. I don't know what it is, but it was weird watching it. What do you guys think?

      he was kind of the same way building up to jmm imo, and look how that turned out. maybe he'll come around a little more the next few days.

      his real promoting skills come out during the 24/7 series, that's where he sells his fights.

            I'm not talking about this having to do with the outcome of the fight. I'm just used to him being in a rythm or a bit more prepared in promotional stuff. He looked a bit childish sniping jabs at Oscar with the 10oz gloves. What was that all about? That don't help sell the fight. He must really hate Oscar, man.

                Did you watch the interviews after the press conference? Floyd was funny as hell.

                  I did. I guess he will be stepping it up soon. You think Shane should be playing the same game? I think it's a bad idea.

                    and did you see the radio interview right after? That was great, well paced and Floyd looks extremely confident...no other boxer today could do a better interview, maybe only Bernard but hes getting too nostalgic lately:P
