I was thinking about the fight earlier considering all the lies Roach and Arum said on Mayweather/Pacquiao At Last. I thought why do they bring these things up and tell lies that anyone who paid attention knows are lies? Like not debatable, not I think, but in print and on film we know for a fact this is not true lies. That program really brought my hype levels down. If Floyd was scared it wouldn't necessarily mean Floyd would lose but we would be sure that Pacquiao would trouble him. But the fact they are still lying and lying undermines the idea Floyd was scared. It really could just be cashing out.
Then I thought about Floyd's biggest fights. He out jabbed Oscar, he beat Hatton on the inside as well as outside(in between rounds you can actually hear Roger telling Floyd to get inside that he's better than Hatton inside), he stood right in the pocket and took Shane's will. In the big fights he seems to like to show he can beat his opponents at their game. He might have this thought again. If Floyd took the fight inside it's a mismatch. If he keeps Pac on the end of his jab he wins comfortably. But I'm starting to convince myself he wants to fight Pacs fight and we have a firefight coming.
