Roach incident with Pacquiao, mad at recurring mistakes in sparring

Only in the mind of a blind Pac fan did he destroy Cotto. You guys are hilarious.

Look at his face and busted ear drum. Yea, he totally destroyed the guy. :rofl:nut

 

just because you destroy a fighter in a fight does that mean he can not come back and win titles?

Marquez did more than destroy Pac he nearly killed him and he has comeback so whats you're point?

 

lol, Raoch is the ultimate trash talker and user of mind games.

 

Floyd has looked extremely beatable in a few fights; I don't know where this talk of him being too much for Pac in 2009 came from. The style of the Marquez fight made that one so easy to predict - it played out exactly as I thought it would (Marquez doesn't look great pressing the action). He looked pretty bad against Oscar, Cotto, Madaina, Castillo I, and really mediocre in the Mitchell fight right after Gatti. He looked great against Canelo, Gatti, marquez, Corales, G. Hernandez, Mosley (with an asterisk) and guys like Corley and Bruseles, while looking too mobile for plodders like Baldomir. His actual reputation exceeds what he does in the ring, I think. Pacquiao in the string of fights from Oscar to Margarito looked far more impressive than Floyd looked during that period. What would you do to deter that version of Pacquiao?

Hopefully Roach will let Pacquiao fight in the fashion that got him those wins with just a little bit of intelligence on top.

 

I don't think Floyd was ever faster... with hands or feet.

How many fighters have come out of the ring in awe of Pac's speed? a ton; not many have come out in awe of Floyd's speed. I do agree with you that Floyd was smarter, he took much less risks and made few mistakes. Don't forget though, DLH almost beat him and his win over Castillo was a bit controversial. DLH seems to handle Floyd's speed much better than Pac's speed, he couldn't see Pac's punches.

 

atsch

 

i thought Floyd won that fight vs DLH but come on, that wasn't like the Canelo or Madiana fights, DLH was close.

DLH couldn't see Pac's punches, it was a joke...

Floyd was fast but Manny is just super fast, i just don't see Floyd being faster, ever. Too many opponents have come out of the ring shocked by manny's speed, totally stunned.

 

maybe he can't do it as consistently. I believe there are two types of speed - single punch speed and combinations. When you see Pacquiao unleashing combos on heavy bag, it looks like something out of a video game. Floyd looks much slower. I think throwing a punch in one direction is much different than throwing, taking your arms back and throwing again... some may have the instinct and ability to throw fast punches but not throw as fast flurries.

on Roach being mad btw, i'm always amazed by how little Roach says in the corner during fights and how Manny seems to completely ignore him. It's as if he's listening to the other trainer and not Roach, maybe the other is translating?

 

lmfao bm going in on the bufsta, she's a pac**** bud, you shouldn't be going in on your own kind.
