    Floyd's been ducking Pacquiao questions for awhile now, most notably the Lopez tonight invitation that he refused because George was going to ask him about Pac.

    Seems like fear to me.

    Idiot.
    Its not fear, Mayweather has always done that.

      I like his focus. He isn't mentioning Pacquiao because he doesn't want to give Pacquiao and his stans any type of boost. Freddie can't keep Mayweather out his mouth, as a result people are looking and researching Mayweather. Mayweather doesn't do that, it's all about his opponent and him.


      Very smart.
      What is the difference between repeated and cheoreographed?

      I meant that. They have done the same work for years, and I'm not saying it in a bad way, because it's not easy to have that speed and do it, although he did seem to lose concentration a few times and miss contact. Too much press and showing off by looking at the cam.

        These kind of posts are quite funny. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but when Floyd started talking about Manny after he signed to fight Shane, didn't you complain about how he wouldn't keep Manny's name out of his mouth?

            Well, he trains like a throwback but he doesnt fight like one.

              True, looks like Floyd trains like a throwback with his great technique and stamina in the ring. But he doesn't fight or act like a throwback.
