This will be "Blitzkrieg" common sense sez that Manny launches an all out assault on Floyd for the first 4 rounds, Cotto cracked Manny plenty & he stayed up floyd will be under siege & it's all very well being romantic & thinking that floyd can just counter & pot-shot but he'll be under siege & he will get hit!!! Manny could get the points in the bag for the first 4/5 rounds so forcing floyd out of his shell if he feels that he's behind in the fight, if he engages Manny he'll be KO'd. I love both of them, but it's not as cut & dried for floyd as some people think, tacticly Roach/Manny will work on 2/3 plans of attack, punch volume will count here with the judges so floyd will have to move & move plenty while remaining 1000% focused but roach/manny know this, they've come up trumps recently have'nt they in their analysis, yeh, the smart way would be "Blitzkrieg" for the first 4/5 rounds & get the points in the bag & if floyd's still standing they can wait for floyd to commit, So many interesting intangibles here. But they will not go into this fight & try too outbox the boxer, it'll be route 1 from the 1st ring a ring. I've just watched the Hatton/Floyd fight again & was amazed at the times floyd missed all through the fight against such an easy one dimensional target like hatton, pacquiao's going to look like a boxing octopus when he unloads on floyd, relentless, take one cute shot to unload 8:bbb I'am suprised that no one has yet compared this fight to LEONARD v DURAN 1 in Montreal, it has it's similarities:smoke
Mayweather has power and he can KO Pac. wont be like Pac did Hatton but I can see Mayweather putting preesure and landing at a 55% clip and the ref stoping the fight. listen Pac will make Mayweather throw alot more punches then he wants to, meaning Pac will get hit more
Right, Mayweather can't get a fat, slow , aged Marquez out of there but he's gonna stop a prime Pac.. atsch
Agreed. If he can't KO JMM after he came up 2 weight classes then PBF coming 2 lbs over. PBF is going to be in trouble. I see a KO or TKO.
Pacman couldnt even KO Juan Manuel Marquez despite putting him on his ass 3 times in the first round of their first fight...so you expect Floyd to do it when he's not a power puncher? Gotta love the logic of you guys on ESB.
:good Suddenly Mayweather sucks because he couldn't KO Marquez??? Marquez has NEVER been stopped. Even after being rocked to **** by Pac in the first round of their first fight he still went to decision.
you don't understand this because you don't train boxers lol... I am sure his strategy for Mayweather involves Pacman getting into harms way, but now that pacquiao proved that even huge lefts from cotto that he didn't see coming didn't slow him down, he knows that Mayweather won't hurt pacman either.
i dont understand tht coz tht dont make any sense Pacqiuao taking hard punches from Cotto, doesnt mean he will KO Mayweather, there is no correlation between, taking punches from Cotto, and KO'ing Mayweather. Im not saying Pac cannot KO Mayweather, but if Roach uses the reason coz Cotto couldnt hurt Pac, therefore Pac KO's Mayweather, then tht is bull****.
