Despite his handsome looks, the kid really has those stone cold killer eyes.
He is calm,dossent say much, put that togehter with the fact he is only 22 yet has 40 fights and 40 wins in the bank, I would be scared to look him in the eyes also.
When has the boxing world last seen a 22 year old kid that has those atributes ?
When he is 25 he will have the experince of Hopkins in a young mans body
Floyd may win, but he is in there with a guy that is ALOT more dangerous then all of his last 4 apponents combined IMOLast edited by 110110110; 06-27-2013, 04:13 AM.

Ok, haters.
I was at the press conference. Here's my take on things:
- Sunglasses? Hell yeah! It was hot, humid and way sunny. Everyone in the stands that had sunglasses had them on. Canelo even had them on, but for whatever reason he took them off for the faceoff.
- Attendance. Look, it's Grand Rapids, not LA, NY, DC or some major metropolitan area. Plus, the press conference was at noon. We here in the Midwest do something called work. I took a half day so I could see the press conference and do some other stuff.
- Golf carts. This took place on a local high school football & track field. Obviously no limos would be allowed on such a field.
As somebody from Grand Rapids, it was REALLY SWEET, to have this type of event. Schaefer said that when they were planning the tour, Floyd wanted them to stop in Grand Rapids to give back to the city where he was from. Kid Chocolate was there too (he's also from Grand Rapids) and was interviewed. They had some kids groups down on the field and some bounce castles & things set up for them to play in before the conference began.
Sure, it wasn't packed, but the people that were there were excited to see the fighters and talk about the fight. The Canelo fans chanted "Canelo". Floyd hyped the crowd with "Hard work" and they responded with "Dedication". It was a good time for free, it probably sold some PPVs and certainly made some fight fans out of some youngsters.
