Mayweather/Ortiz Face off. Full video

[Master]

Notice Ortiz did not have a response or clue when Floyd asked him how he was going to beat him. Hope Ortiz pulls it off.

Another thing that i've noticed about Mayweather's mentality that I absolutely love is that it has become more and more apparent (probably as a result of him settling down and 'fighting' a bit more) that Mayweather insists on asking the questions, HE has to hold council... both in the ring and outside of it. Not necessarily in an arrogant way but subtly, he seeks control.

Further to this, he asks questions that he already knows the answers to. While his opponent is figuring out the answer he has probaly exponentialy expanded on his quizing resistance two-fold.

He always fights progressively. He works a plan forward and it's almost impossible to fully break out of it.

If the questions he asks aren't traditionaly direct then there's usually a subliminal 'understanding' on part of the counterpart that questions will NEED to be answered imminently.

"What's your plan to beat me"... "Your gonna have to GET me to respect your fight-game, oh but you gone HAVE to..."
He just LOVES to plant the seed.

I used the term 'quizing resistance' for a reason. I could of said complex fight plan but that wouldn't of been revealing enough... I'll explain...
I've said before that Mayweather likes to get his opponent to think. To create doubt, or as Bernard Hopkins would put it; 'disappoint em'. In relation to how Floyd does it... Well it's kinda like getting your opponent 'on the go'. Sometimes it appears as if though he is making his counterpart belive that moving on to the next thing was thier idea. However of course, he is always a step ahead, simply because he's the one pushing all the buttons. An amazingly intelligent protaganist. So you see, he's ability to win fights is based around his ability to fiddle with the mind as much as it is his athletic abilities.

If boxing finds someone big, strong and tough enough... With enough fire in their belly and naive, arrogant determination in their hearts. Someone happy to jump around throwing hell for leather at the man infront of them for 12 rounds and you might just find someone that Floyd is unable to convince into loosing.
