Is it smart of Roach to tell the media he expects Pac to beat Shane worse than Floyd

    He expects Manny to beat Shance worse than Floyd did and that is the goal he is shooting for. I don't think that is a smart thing to tell the media because it can backfire very easily.

    Floyd only lost one round in his fight with Shane. Not to mention Floyd finished the round stronger then Shane did. You almost can't dismantle a fighter better than Floyd did to Shane that night. In order for Pac to do better he would have to win every round, or if he were to score a knockout and he would have to do it without taking much punishment.

    If Pac were to lose 3 or more rounds, more people would immediately question how good his boxing ability would stand up to someone of Floyd's ability.

    Regardless of what round it happened, if he were to score a knockout it wouldn't matter if his face ended up looking like a bloody mess. People would say if he can't defend himself from Shane, how would he against the lightning quick counters of Floyd.

    Roach needs to keep his mouth shut. He's putting more pressure on Pac to do something that may get him in trouble.

    Mosley's best opportunity is that Pacquaio attempts to gun him from the start. Mosley still has very solid power at this weight and has crushed some previously uncrushable chins in Margarito.

    While he couldn't get off against Mayweather Jr, it's a completely different style, Mayweather is an ATG with his defense, Pacquaio is an ATG with his offense. Mosley just needs to land one good shot and a good follow up and it could be curtains.

    Only way pac stops mosley, is via accumulation and if ref stops it or towel is thrown in.

    No way does pac who didn't have the power to KO cotto or Marquez stops mosley.

    Unlike Floyd's management/backroom staff, Roach tends to be on the ball most of the time. It's not a hard prediction to make really. :rasta

    Roach has always talked trash. It really doesn't matter what he says because Manny is the one that has to do it.

    Wrong. But a nice try to plant a narrative.

    If Pacquiao KO's Mosley, the story from the fight is "Incredible Pacquiao First Man To Ever Knock Mosley Out."

    Roach knows that. You know it, too. Casual Fan doesn't care about how many rounds were won or lost if a guy wins by KO, or could the guy defend himself and how many rounds did he win.

    Example: Casual Fan knows that Mosley KO'd Mayorga. They don't know that Mosley sucked for the rest of the fight.

    Nothing "New" here folks, By now we already know Manny is a killer...
    Why act surprised here? Roach is merely stating the obvious.
    (Pac has always fought in this manner)

    Why shouldn't they go for a finish?
    (It's Manny's style to go balls to the wall)

    No pressure... Mosley sucks nowadays! They're also trying to hype up Shane to make it seem like he's still good. Sure he's still strong but not very good.

    Roach made a mistake of bringing PBF into it and directly comparing Pac to PBF.

    Because if like I keep telling all you dip shits, Pac can't stop Shane, NOT even come close. Then he has given PBF leverage.

    I could care less it is totally meaningless leverage to me, but PBF will use it for PR purposes. That is what he is good at.

    He should just let Pac's performance speak for itself. If it somehow doesnt match up to PBF's performance, then it makes them look silly.
