    Mayweather not taking training seriously?

    Now this could be to sell the fight but I keep hearing and reading that Mayweather hasn't taken training camp seriously. I still feel he does a number on Conor but things like this do concern me a little. I've not actually seen his father in any of his training videos nor have we seen his uncle Roger who he works on the mitts and pads with.

    Anyone else slightly concerned?

    It's all deception to sell the fight and give false impressions.

    You can bet he is training as hard as always, if not more.

      I don't believe it, and I'm not concerned. Floyd is a gym rat, and boxing is all he knows. He's mastered the craft.

        I doubt it

        Its just to sell the fight

        A guy known for how hard he trains is suddenly gonna mess around for last fight of his career. He had a 2 year lay off to mess around

          It would shock me if after 49 times, he would start slacking.

            Surprised how many boxing fans are getting nervous. I think it's more Conors suggestions are getting in their heads. This is a piece of cake fight.

                  He's just posturing and trying to drum up intrigue.

                  Grandstanding about conceding to 8oz gloves, intimating that he's lost a step, giving the impression that he isn't taking training seriously.

                  It's all smoke and mirrors to excite casuals into thinking it's a 50/50 contest, and it really isn't worth debating.

                  Strip away both men's rhetoric and what you have is an ATG boxer vs. a UFC stand-out with a puncher's chance.

                  Beyond that, all we can do is wait till fight night.

                    Mayweather basically trains himself since his uncle got ill, his father just works the corner.
