These sparring partners arent actors. They all seem very believable than coached. They all talk about how his power has increased and one guy said that Floyd is the hardest puncher he has faced. Stronger than middleweights, and explosive.

I'm one to usually not believe Arum, and wholeheartedly would prefer Floyd to win, but Arum hasn't been the only one saying this, and where there's smoke, there's fire.
Remember when they were saying De la Hoya was allegedly getting beaten up by Edwin Valero in sparring in preparation for 2008's Pacquiao bout? Everybody was writing it off as prefight hoopla to make it look like Pacquiao had a chance against the seemingly giant De la Hoya. That rumor looks all the more true in hindsight. You can even see De la Hoya's face slightly bruised in one of the 24/7 episodes in the build-up to that fight.
What about when Errol Spence allegedly KO'd Adrien Broner in sparring? I know, I know. It's only sparring...but it's amusing to see how people just write it off 100% as it had no relevance in the lead-up to Broner's next fight.
These statements don't settle well with me. I've never been one to believe that Mayweather would be one to whitewash Pacquiao. Mayweather is a better known counter-puncher than JMM, but to put it plainly like that would be simplifying it as, counter-punching aside, they fight very differently.
Right now, I'm still leaning towards Floyd, but I do not expect Floyd to beat Pacquiao comfortably...at least not at this moment.Comment

I don't think Arum is playing mind games at all. I think he's saying what he's heard. Whether what he heard is true or not...I don't know.Comment
