all fighters have doubts, but at the end of the day they believe they truly are the best. certainly mayweather as dominant as he been. he didnt lose confidence in the cotto fight, all fighters have bad nights. against cotto he didnt even have that bad a night and he was in there with a very solid and experienced opponent. everyone gets touched, especially when fighting someone with a great jab like cotto. you take it and you come back. mainstream fans make a big deal out of every tiny mistake floyd makes, he gets caught with a few jabs and its the end of his career. floyd knows better.
as for control floyd doesnt have anything to prove, everyone knows floyd included he can pick anyone he wants and they wont turn down the money he brings to the table and ppl will watch the fight. he most likely isnt fighting devon, its probably a ploy to make guerreo think that once in a lifetime payday is slipping and give floyd an even bigger advantage in negotiations. or perhaps it comes down to money, devon is willing to accept less, or maybe devon is with haymon (idk) who wants to give one of his young guys some exposure knowing floyd wont be around that much longer. perhaps its GBP who figure they maximize profits making a guerrero-berto rematch before guerrero loses to floyd, then set up him and mayweather later on. imo they feel canelo can beat floyd if they wait long enough to make the fight, allowing alvarez to improve and floyd to decline. that would make canelo the next star of boxing, as a result they are throwing more fighters inbetween alvarez and floyd to postpone the fight.
what i do know is its about politics, not one mans insecurities. boxing is all business. all that psychological crap is ridiculous.
