remember Freddie saying this back in late early December:

"March 13 is too fast a turnaround...I'd like to have more time. I hope the fight happens, yes, but I want us to be in the best possible shape."

....yeah can you say DUCK

lets be real about this though, the main sparring Pac would've gotten would've been from an all to offensive Amir Khan. Team Pac NEVER wanted the fight to happen this soon. Freddie had a crack at Mayweather when he trained Oscar, he knows what he's got to do, and he knew he wouldn't be able to do it by March 13th

So if Roach gets asked a question about Floyd it means he's not thinking about Clottey. Lol. These Floyd nuthuggers are something else. Woah, Floyd is not an easy fight, breaking news! Tomorrow he'll say Floyd is delicate and it's an easy fight.

Freddie Roach Telegraph Sport exclusive part five.

Freddie Roach has been breaking down the style and technique employed by Floyd Mayweather, which has made him the unbeaten fighter he is today.

Roach had begun his research on Mayweather before the planned super-fight between Pacquiao and the leading American boxer of today was derailed by rows and disagreements over drug-testing procedures.
Roach told me: Id been looking at how Mayweather reacts against south paw fighters. Theres quite a difference to how he reacts with right handed fighters. Hes not that comfortable with the south paw stance. It gets him in a little trouble.

Yet Roach spelt out in clear terms the task facing Pacquiao should he meet Mayweather in a ring, later this year. Its more about his positive things that we have to stay away from.

Its a complicated game plan I was beginning to put together. You look at the way Floyd fights. If you put pressure on him, on the ropes, he rolls and ducks, and counters and if you get too aggressive, hell walk you so cleverly onto a counter punch. Hes not the most offensive fighter, not the most entertaining fighter, but he is great at what he does.
Do we have to be ready for all of it ? Yes. Its going to be a real, real, mental fight, and this is 100 per cent the biggest challenge Manny Pacquiao has ever faced.

Would Roach have done anything different to Mayweathers style, if he had trained him? A little bit more offence, because of his hand speed and abilities. Id have got him to use it to his advantage more. I dont think anyone trains Mayweather. He was born to fight. It is in his blood.
There are not a lot of weaknesses. It has to be a special 36 minutes from Manny. We have to fight the perfect fight.

It is hard thinking about it. When decisions havent yet been made. I think the fight has to happen. I think it will happen. Its good for boxing, it is good for the world. If it doesnt happen, we might go back into a recession in boxing again, because it is the fight which is anticipated. The public wants to see it, and I want to see it too.

Roach knows Floyd is a great fighter he just doenst like him. I think alot of what he said before was to get underneath Floyd's skin....but Roach knows Floyd will present many challenges that PAC has never been faced with....with that said he also knows his fighter has qualities that will give Floyd his toughest test to date as well. A true 50/50 fight.

Yeap, I pretty much read what Roach said as acknowledging Floyd's boxing acumen. God forbid the Mayweather's from ever acknowledging their opponents skill for once?
