    have you ever thought that Roach and Manny are cashing out against Mayweather?

    Do they really care if Pac loses if Roach gets a big share of that purse?

    There's nothing left to protect, its all icing on the cake from here to end.

    Floyd adapts. Therein lies the problem for the other. After a while, people go back to what they know and Floyd is there waiting to capitalize all day. The reason why people stop throwing against Floyd is because they know that they are going to get tagged a few times. Yes, some of it is quickness, but a lot of it is technique as well. Look at how Floyd is properly spaced 99.9% of the time.

    Don't you think a come forward Floyd would play right into Manny's strength? Look what happened to Hoya, Hatton and Cotto. A moving and counterpunching Floyd would be a lot harder to tag than an attacking one.

    Good point, but at the same time if he actually walked Pacquiao down while making him miss and putting leather in his face the whole time, that would probably shake Pacquiao's confidence to say the least. Then again, he could simply box circles around him but Roach was/is probably expecting that and would advise Pacquiao accordingly. In the end, if the fight does happen we should just expect to be shocked by whatever Mayweather pulls outta the hat.
    Amen.

    It would be Floyd's fault if he doesn't agree to his own "14 day" condition. Roach saying that Floyd's legs are shot probably just a way of taunting Floyd. I'm pretty sure most know that Floyd's legs aren't shot. He was flat footed during the match with Shane because he got tagged by Shane.
