Floyd Mayweather has kicked-off the mind games ahead of next Saturday's Las Vegas showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
The duo will face off in the most anticipated fight in the MGM Grand, after a five-year standoff over negotiations was finally concluded.
The wheels were set in motion when the duo accidentally bumped into each other at a Miami Heat basketball game, and exchanged phone numbers before meeting in a hotel.
Mayweather claims he saw the fear in Pacquiao's eyes from that very first exchange.
"You can read a man's body language. When Pacquiao first saw me in Miami, he didn't expect to see me over there at the basketball game," Mayweather said.
"He looked shocked, like - 'Damn, he's taller than me. He's bigger than what I thought he was'. Just by being in the sport for so long, you're able to read body language and to read a fighter's eyes.
"Normally when I face an opponent, they outweigh me by 17 to 20 pounds on fight nights. This has been going on for a good while now."
Who do you think will come out victorious?
