    Freddie Roach's daily declarations of impending victory are getting annoying

    What more do you need?

    Reach
    Length (although Pacquiao does a great job at covering distance with his punches for a small guy)
    Ability to get timing down and understand how Floyd works.

    So much is going on in that ring that thinking a fight is in your hands due to advantages like power and speed isn't going to cut it.

    I already know by round 6 or before we'll see Pacquiao flicking his legs up due to cramps...so he has that working against him.

    Exactly. The Pacquiao is totally shot now the fight has been signed brigade are beyond ridiculous.

    The Haymon***uals need to give their head a shake too.

    I think Roach is trying to draw Floyd into a game of "lets go toe to toe with my guy".

    Hes trying to get Floyd to stop moving so pacman can land his punches a bit more than he would if Floyd uses his boxing skills. Some call it running, but the effectiveness of movement is what got Floyd to where he is now.:deal

    if Father time has caught up to floyds legs, then I still expect him to fare well by controlling the distance exactly like he did with Canello. Manny is faster than Canello and all the other factors, but floyd will frustrate the pacman and I can see Pacman throwing caution to the wind and it can work out well for him as much as it could be his undoing, like in the 4th JMM fight:deal:thumbsup:hat
