its sunny indoors too right?

Maybe he wants Canelo to think he's scared? I mean my theory is just a good as yours I pulled it outta thin air like you to.

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 IMO

It's just a ploy Floyd is playing right now. Trust me it's going to be intense as **** when at one of the final staredowns, Floyd looks at Canelo then finally takes them off to let him know.

Its all in the buildup

I think he is 3 for 3 when it comes to wearing shades to a Canelo faceoff.....Floyd clearly doesn't feel comfortable about this fight.

Canelo probably won't win more than 2 rounds in this fight.

What's going on here? Looks like a fight about to go down on the right hand side.

I was at the press conference. The dude in black is interviewing the kid. The kid trains in the same gym that Floyd trained in as a kid. The kid is picking Floyd to win the fight.

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.
