    Could Roach go about the fight this way?

    Use a similar plan to the Dela Hoya fight and let a flurry go and move. Try to make Floyd come to him.

    Manny has the better legs and maybe this could be a good strategy as opposed to swarming and walking into more counters.

    I feel that this is the way to deal with Floyd.

    Move in and off the angles. Mayweather doesn't have the legs to turn with Manny.

    I thought before that he'd move around and leap in and flurry. But now that I think about it, it's a bad plan. He'll get timed coming in and his flurries will be stopped before they start. Unless he knows how to close the gap effectively and quickly to neutralize Floyd's counters.

    He should try to move in and out, and keep turning Floyd

    Well he's not going to brawl...

    The level of aggresiveness of his offence and workrate should be watched for. Floyd will try to slow the pace down and shut him down early and force him into his fight (punch for punch)

    yes there is a 99.9 % chance he will do that.. because he willl have to pull out all the tools in this fight . he will do all the above one single thing isnt gunna work .

    his best chance to beat floyd is to make it a fight .. he cant be to reckless tho he has to come in on floyd with differ angles ..

    The 1st maidana fight will work as a blessing for floyd, he needed that kick up the backside and will have a feeling of what to expect with pac, no way pac out boxes mayweather the way he did dlh he only wins if he can go the full 12 with constant pressure which will be difficult with the amount of times floyd will catch him

    hell no... he has a shorter reach........and floyd will be extra cautious.........the only way for this past prime version of pac to win..........would be establish a grueling phase.....feint from all awkward angles......use his foot speed......and hope the referee doesnt allow floyd to use his illegal elbows

    Oscar didnt move and flurry he came forward with a high guard picking off Floyds punches with his gloves jabbing him to the ropes and flurrying to the body and using his size advantage

    Manny doesnt do any of that

    Manny needs to try and keep the tempo up in terms of punch out put and try to win on being busier and use his feet to not stay in front of Floyd for too long
