Pac has no style he darts in and darts out never moving his head and when he gets hits he goes berserk jumping up and down and sometimes his hands are near his trunks leaving him wide open to body shots or head counters a true boxers like Floyd can go downstairs or up if he does that **** and he will because he feel that he's a warrior but warriors get KO too. Too me this fight would be onesided . Floyd 120- Manny 108:happy:happy:happy
I think Lahr's article is biased, all of his usually are. But, Roach has said this on a number of occasions, in one way or another. It's no secret. As someone mentioned earlier, this is a mismatch on paper. Roach knows this, and he's, seemingly, been looking for an angle to exploit some weakness in Floyd's game, for awhile now. There really are not too many that he could exploit. Manny will PAY, whenever he tries to. He can either outwork Floyd or stop him. Those are his best chances to win. No fighter has ever KO'd Floyd, and Manny is not exactly a KO artist, so his chances of doing this are quite slim. Floyd is always in as good of shape, or better, as any of opponents and relatively indefatigable in his fights. He knows how to conserve energy. So, he can go as many rounds as Manny could, using his style. Manny should either try to turn it into a brawl, or hurt Floyd and never let him recover. Otherwise, there's no methodical game plan that Roach can really give him, IMO.
I don't think that's what Roach meant here. Although, he has mentioned this before the 1st set of negotiations.
