Do you agree with Roach?

    Floyd Mayweather is going to be easy pickings for Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino fighter’s trainer Freddie Roach said Saturday from Los Angeles.

    “Easy (fight),” Roach said when asked about what he sees in his crystal ball once Pacquiao and Mayweather finally get it on. “Manny’s going to knock him out.”

    Roach kept on saying “easy” during the course of the long-distance interview, sounding supremely confident that Pacquiao would hardly encounter any problem cracking Mayweather, a puzzle that has remained unsolved after over 40 fights the last 14 years.

    “He couldn’t move, he’s got no more legs,” Roach observed, citing that Mayweather was no longer as nimble as he used to be.

    Roach is nervous and scared shitless. He's desperate and grasping for straws. Some of you guys are too damn gullible.

    Roach says that in one breath, then in the next will say it's a very difficult task to come up with a gameplan.

    Roach's comments seem to be his attempt at backtracking after he predicted Mayweather would run all night.

    The fact he walked Mosley down, overpowered him and just beat him up will give Roach plenty to think about as far as a gameplan to beat Floyd goes, I think the style he used makes this fight even more interesting.

    If Mayweather is "easy pickens", then why cant Druguiao undergo a simple blood test? :think How many ****ing times can Roach contradict his statements?

    i honestly think Roach WANTS that Floyd to show because the Floyd that retreats and not looking to engage is EASIER TO OUTPOINT...the Floyd that is engaging is A WHOLE OTHER BEAST....i think he honestly had his mindset on Pac facing the Floyd that will use lots of movement to avoid a fight with Mosley...instead he got the opposite and now just maybe that gameplan he has been working on aint so sunshine anymore.

    I think people get too worked up and take things that freddie says too seriously

    Watch the second round of Mosley/Void fight. Void, "The Roid" Mayweather will get knocked out by Pac. Void keeps on running.

    Hell No, other wise Pac would've took the test already, Granted Pac is much better than 2010 Mosley But PBF has never lost a fight while pac has.
