The leg cramp rumours will not go away

Manny Pacquiao is dealing with leg cramps while prepping for Floyd Mayweather fight - The Washington Post

Is it sensible to be comparing Maidana and Pacquiao ?

"Nobody is scoring a KO in this fight. Maidana hits much harder than Pacquiao and couldn’t do it with clean punches from awkward angles. Pacquiao hasn’t scored a knockout in six years and, similar to Mayweather, is not a powerful welterweight like Maidana. At welterweight, Pacquiao has only scored one stoppage and it was a premature referee stoppage of Miguel Cotto back in 2009. Before that, he knocked out Ricky Hatton at junior welterweight in his last real KO. Since moving up to junior welterweight and above, in nine wins, Pacquiao only has two wins by stoppage and they were both six years ago. Maidana, on the other hand, has scored KO’s in three of his four wins at welterweight, on top of 28 KO’s in 31 wins at junior welterweight. At junior welterweight and above, Maidana’s KO percentage is over 80 percent, while Pacquiao’s is just over 20 percent like Mayweather, JR.’s. Predicting a knockout for either man is wishful thinking"

Floyd wants more than just a victory. He wants to look good doing it. Good article here with a great insight into the head and methods of Floyd.

"It is each man's job to discern the other's strengths, then neutralize. "A lot of guys do a lot of things wrong, but they are still successful," Mayweather said. "So I want to know what he does right, so I can take that away from him, so I can take that arsenal away from him. What I do, when I'm facing a guy, whatever he does good, I take that away from him, so he has to resort to doing something different."
Forty-seven times, it has been all about winning the fight he's in and looking good in the next one for Mayweather. Sometimes, against opponents like Genaro Hernandez, and Diego Corrales, and Arturo Gatti, Mayweather has been both victorious and spectacular.
In the fight to rewrite history, he craves rediscovering that intersection.
"I just want to look good for myself," he said. "I want to look very impressive. I'm pretty sure he's going to bring his A-game, and it's all about excitement. I got here somehow, some way. He's a solid competitor, but very reckless, and he makes a lot of mistakes."
And there it is -- the suggestion that even in this superfight to end them all, there is an inherent gap in ring comprehension."

They should show the pictures of the injections Floyd is going to have in his hands.

- Cotto was stopped prematurely.

- Floyd will get robbed unless he wins at least 8 rounds.

So poor Manny is too old to run up hills anymore? What a fight

They should show the pictures of the injections Floyd is going to have in his hands.

I've addressed this many times but it is another one of those things people don't want to hear the truth about. Floyd doesn't use injections. Keith Kizer says so here

I hope this works as a link, I hate the flipping Iphone I don't know how to use the damn thing.

Nevada boxing boss: Floyd Mayweather's hands are clean - National Boxing | Examiner.com

I hope this works as a link, I hate the flipping Iphone I don't know how to use the damn thing.

I'm a bit confused by what Kizer is saying.

He says that Floyd has never asked for permission to use any injections in his hands, but later in the article he says that the hand injections aren't barred by the NSAC.

So can it just be Floyd is injecting his hands and not asking for permission because he doesn't need permission because it's not a banned substance?

Sergio Martinez: Manny is just breakfast for Floyd - Bad Left Hook

"This was never too much of a fight to me because Mayweather is in a league of his own," said Martinez. "Floyd Mayweather can have Manny for breakfast, lunch or anything. Pacquiao is still a long way from being ready for Mayweather."

Floyd likes to go Old School with cassettes in his Ferrari

"Floyd Mayweather may be the richest sportsman in the world, but that doesn't stop him listening to old-fashioned cassettes when driving around in his expensive cars.
Mayweather, nicknamed Money Man, released a new video on Tuesday in the build-up to his mega-money fight with Manny Pacquiao on May 2.
And in the short clip, as well as choosing between a Ferrari, Rolls Royce and Bugatti for a trip to the shops, the boxer also shows off his selection of tapes, including some classic R Kelly."
