Yeah, the epitome of confidence he is.

    Oh, and had to sucker punch Ortiz to win.
    He must be confident in your eyes because you've picked him to lose his last 3 fights.

      Floyd hardly ever gets touched....he almost hit the deck the two times Mosley touched him flush.

        My preferring a person to lose has little to do with that person's confidence. I could easily say that Khan would destroy Floyd but this mismatch is so far out of the competitive range that I won't even venture into the troll zone to expend the effort.

        His reluctance to face Pacquiao is the ultimate testament of his true belief in himself.

          Oh so you were trolling when you picked those fights Convenient.

          You're picking him to lose so he must have confidence in your eyes because he's taking fights you're expecting him to lose.

              No, not completely. I've had people ask me via PM's who I honestly thought would win between Pac and Floyd and the answer would probably surprise you. I'm sure I have told you this at some point in the past, Floyd was at one time my favorite boxer, I still have most of his complete career set on my HDD.

              He became a diva and kind of a prick at some point and his claiming to be the GOAT isn't supported by his actions and making that claim is an insult to other fighters who have left their marks on the sport.

                I don't really understand why Bradley would think of himself undeserving of #1P4P status if ever he beats Pac officially even without fighting Floyd.
                An elite fighter would know. Floyd has earned the respect of much of the boxing world. You may dislike him because of his antics or bravado but he has the skills to back his talk up. Alas, if only Broner had that same ability, it would have saved him an ass whippin' and a humiliating ring exit.

                The guy's the real deal, only in a moronic pocket of alternate reality like NSB is he something else.

                    Precisely.

                    All the more embarrassing it is that the "oh so confident" Bradley was so reluctant to fight him

                    You're talking about confidence levels and how Mayweather wouldn't fight this guy or that guy yet Bradley wouldn't even fight Khan

                      Yeah, but Floyds fighting him because he is the biggest name & the best bet financially of the GB fighters. Unlike Tim who didn't fight him on the chance the he might lose and miss out on the Pacquiao sweepstakes!
