For those who think that Mayweather is not afraid of Pacman.

[J_Undisputed]

Was Floyd afraid of the fast, southpaw manny pacquiao?
Was Floyd Afraid of a Possibly roided up fast southpaw, who was able to carry his power up in weight?
Was Floyd Afraid of Losing his unbeaten record against a fighter that represented and uncalculated risk by possibly facing a fast southpaw who was able to carry his power up in weight in what was considered an unnatural fashion?

Of the 3, i'll take the 3rd. Rather get into the PED argument, I'll leave whatever you believe about that up to the reader. Whichever you believe, the first represents risk, the second represents more risk. The third represents the most and floyd doesnt like risk. As absurd as that sounds given his lifestyle habits which domestic violence, showing off, and other questionable acts for someone with so much to lose.... Its indeed probable.

His life is spent minimizing risk. Gigantic bodygaurds for would be robbers, high priced legal teams for assault cases, etc. Hiring Ariza away from maidana and smaller acts like that. Now that the fight is going to happen, hes minimized the risk surrounding pacquiao. Drug tests agreed to, a cut better than the one he didn't want to settle for before, almost all the other advantages on the contract. ring walk order, introductions, announcement privileges. Hes created what he feels is a winnable situation for himself with little risk. If he loses, his fans will say time finally caught up to him.

The only problem is if he wins..... his legacy will still take a hit for it when all is said and done. As he sits back proclaims himself the best ever. There will always be a heckler who stands up and shouts that he waited for Marquez and Bradley (bum decision) to do the dirty work and fought pac only after he knew he was beatable. Every fighter has one... There will always be people that claimed that Ali's phantom punch was liston throwing the fight or that michalczewski was roy jones's silver bullet, etc. I think this will only become magnified by floyds self marketing and primadonna bargaining style.

Yeah Im with that ,protecting the Money train all the time looking out through the zero.Now its time to change that.

Now he knows he wants to go down in History as the number one and now he knows he can do it easier than before.

If he looses his 0 he gets another fight, more cash on the trrain. If he doesnt feel threatened and thinks he wont get caught off Mannys shots clean ,it will look a bit closer and again another fight, he will win. Maybe a third fight.

Both Manny and Floyd win here to a large degree, but i think I know who wins more either way at this point in time and that has been smart business. Guess whos paying?

In the end Floyd has fought everyone, win or lose this one; in the history books this will do his name better than a zero.

Look Spen Oktte world champion is retired and has a big 0 on his record; Who most people will say?
