    I'm well versed in nature vs nurture. Floyd, before he could walk, was doing something his father had just shown him. He will prevail, because that's what he was born to do.

      Boxing is not an innate ability.

      The clue is in your words, his father had just showed him?

      If Floyd grew up in Pacquiao shoes, he would not even be a boxer.

        Well, you don't actually know if that's true. And you misconstrued what SkillsPayBills said. He meant Floyd Sr. had began teaching Floyd boxing fundamentals at a very young age. Floyd was hitting the mitts before he could walk or talk.

        And boxing may not be an innate ability, but some people are born with traits that make them more adept to master certain sports.

          Floyd wasn't born to be the best in his field, He has brittle hands which is a pretty big ironic for someone who boxes for a living. He's a smart cat that knows how to game the system.

              I think it's gonna be Kenny Bayless. Both camps are obviously familiar with Bayless and I don't think neither party wants any surprises.

              Watched Mayweather-Maidana 2 the other day again,...I don't think Bayless did that terrible...Other than wrongfully penalizing Maidana,...I was fine with how he broke up clinches.

              It was basically Floyd clinching and holding a lot.

              Either way, I don't think there will be lots of clinching in this fight.

                Floyd looks like he's putting more steam in his punches, I think they got some tailor made bag that will lessen the impact of punches.

                  Watching the Bradley and Algeri fights, Manny seems to be more patient and want to box. That could prove to be a huge mistake as it gives Floyd time to think and fight at his pace. Maidana's moments came when he pressed the action and forced Floyd to fight, just like Cotto did. Manny hopefully does not go the Canelo route and try to outbox Floyd.
