Floyd wasn't like this early in his career, probably 7 to 8 years in his career he started acting like this to get people to buy his fights once he started to realize the humble him and nice guy role wouldn't cut it.

I've been following him since '97 or so and just watch his prefight conferences from that time up till until he started fighting on big PPV fights and it's a sharp contrast.
Yeah, some of it might well be put on. But he is going way overboard with Mosley. I don't recall Floyd being quite this verbose in a good while and Mosley is a nice guy. I don't understand why anyone would be more inclined to buy a fight just because someone is denigrating the other opponent. It's all about the skillsets for me. I wouldn't mind so much if Floyd was able to carry it with some humour but I just don't find him very funny. Toney and Mayorga are able to do it and I don't actively dislike them. Just something about Floyd that leaves me a bit cold.
