    When you think of fear in boxing, you think of Mayweather, primarily. This is because, obviously, he's afraid of Pacquiao (and a host of other fighters he's refused to face along the way).

    But honestly, in defense of PBF, he's not really afraid of another man. He's afraid of losing his meal ticket. He's afraid of losing his, '0', he's afraid of losing his fans (and his haters).

    So let's not forget: PBF isn't reacting to the very human condition of fear. Rather, he's reacting, as a fighter would who's not entertaining except to propogate the myth that he's great, to the fear of being exposed.

    That's right. PBF's a fraud. A classic fraud. One in three men are frauds. PBF's just a common fraud, afraid of being exposed.
