When ****m says that Floyd will rumble, is he trying to play mind games?

I think this kid can rumble, I think he can stand in there and rumble a little bit. My impression of the fight? Shane's gonna come out and hit Floyd in the mouth, and Floyd is gonna sprout a tail, grow wings, draw fangs and claws and turn into a Dragon in the ring; And he'll start spittin fire balls." - ****m Richardson

I really don't see Floyd rumbling with Mosley who hits really hard so do you think this is a psychological tactic used by ****m?

Yes it was mind games. I saw through that as soon as he said it.

Probably. I don't think he's naive enough to believe anything he/Shane says on 24/7 is really gonna affect what Mayweather does in the ring come May 1, but it can't hurt to throw it out there right?

It's very possible.

When Floyd was rocked by Chop chop, Floyd started to **** a little and go to war with Chop chop. Then Roger told him to stop that and box him. When he faught Judah and Floyd took that check hook, he started to try and **** with Judah but Roger told him to stop that and go to Zab's body.

So, yes, I do think it is possible to make Floyd want to stand in there and **** with you. The problem is, Floyd easily adjusts, he doesn't get stuck in a war effort. He will throw some fire balls but Roger will make him regain his composure and Floyd will start boxing again.

Right on the money.

Seems like it

He wants floyd to fight Shane not box him. Floyd will box and box and box.

The thing is Shane can box too so I see Floyd having to come out of his shell if he wants to win this one. This isn't Carlos Baldomir you know!

richardson watches more tape and dissects fights probably better than anyone right now, and he probably has seen how floyd reacts to getting tagged.

i think it's safe to say that richardson is speaking the truth and showing respect to his fighters opponent.

as a floyd critic, i will admit, that he does even the score if hit, and knows how to put on the heat when he wants to or needs to.

like when he fought chavez in SF, floyd put together good combos and tee'd off on chavez to have his corner stop it. or when he let those rights go against p. ndou, so i'm sure richardson is drawing on past fights before floyd went more into his defensive ride it to the final bell style that he is more known for......

floyd isnt going to run, he's going to try and out do mosley and ****m is full aware of that, and if richardson is wrong, then he has given floyd to much respect in that department and there is nothing wrong with that because i would rather he be respectful and fully prepare instead of arrogant and unprepared.
