Mayweather's ability to stay relaxed

[Doctor_Tenma]

yeah manny has always been like that he thinks everyone is just gonna come straight to him and brawl... and for the most part he's faced opponents that have done that... If he stands there getting mad taunting Floyd, Floyd will just smile and keep dancing around him lol

Yes indeed.

The last thing Pacquiao wants to do is show Mayweather any weaknesses.

Credit to Mayweather in being relaxed and composed while having the necessary skills to overcome Mosley. Cool under fire while brimming with his also.

I want to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather. Make it happen!

Remember how annoyed Pacquiao got when Cotto started to move? That I'll never forget. Standing in the middle of the ring and taunting your opponent to come in isn't gonna work against Floyd.

exactly...floyd will mentally mess with him all night i can already see it.. matter fact i think floyd is somewhat already gettin into manny's head

Floyd is extremely cool in there. I did notice that he was getting a little irritated with Shane's constant clinching, but he didn't complain too much. He obviously deals with adversity better than 99% of the fighters I've seen.

It's a great ability.

To his credit though, he knew Shane mosley would get fatigued, Shane gets fatigued usually early in the fight. I think he instinctivly knew after mosley landed that first good shot and then that last bomb, that mosley would see that it didnt hurt him and just pack it in and give up. It's clear that was going to happen from shanes fight with margarito, shane landed one or two big shots on margarito and became discouraged and simply quit punching.

Then comes the countering, he knew if he countered shane, shane would stop punching, much like his fights with oscar, vargas, and cotto. Cotto fight was close but he clearly lost the other fight from effective countering, although those fighters didn't pack the power mayweather has, it's easy to see shane loses heart after he takes a few counter shots.
