    He would. Tne problem is that Mayweather is just that much better and has the style to beat Pac on his best day. He would be pushed all the way but I only see one winner should they ever fight.

    i dont think PAC is on anything but i also do not believe he wante to fight Floyd so soon without being able to really put the necessary time in for Floyd...like he is saying now.

    I honestly believe he just wanted more time for a ight like fFloyd.

    Pac and Roach both didn't want to fight mayweather in March they didnt have enough time to prepare, so backed out of the fight over refusing to take the random drug tests that they initially agreed on.

    Pacroid is juicing!!!

    Did they agree on the random test before? Not sure about that.

    In a way though, i think Freddie should be careful not to make this TOO strategical.... Manny got here by being Pac... the guy who throws 10 punch combos and is ferocious, hes not going to outbox or out strategise mayweather, and one shouldnt play to their weaknesses and their opponents strengths for the sake of strategy.

    Im not saying have Pac go in their like an idiot... no, and of course its always good to hear Freddy coming up with a gameplan, i just hope that by the time the fight happens (if it ever does) that he doesnt overdo it.

    This is a good thread. You should put it on here twice. ;)
    Roach is the man, and he gives credit when credit is due. I'd want him to train me if I were pro.

    I really think this is just a mind game that Roach is playing. Saying that Pacquiao cannot beat Cotto by KO before the fight and then as the fight date gets closer and closer he said Pacquiao will stop KO.

    You're like one of the shittiest posters on this site. Boring, basic ass insight, nothing opinion, and a nobody when it comes to talking boxing.

    Roach is trying to put confidence back into Floyd, so Floyd will have the courage to fight. Once Floyd grows his balls and the fight is on, watch Freddie make those same "we'll knock him out" comments as the fight gets closer.

    Roach knows that JMM gave PAc hell with his two fists, and he has finally begun to treat Floyd with respect when breaking Floyd's style down because he knows Pac won't be able to break Floyd down like he did Cotto, Dlh, and Hatton.

    Pac is the only who has been knocked out, and the only one who deep down might be afraid of Floyd. PAc will try like hell, right up until Floyd starts to break him down... Roach can say what the fuk he wants to, but that kind of talk never bothers any top fighter who has followed his game plan, and has stayed undefeated.
