    The defense James Toney had is very similar to Mayweather. My question is will Roach come up with a gameplan that will overcome Mayweathers defense due to the similar defensive styles of Mayweather and Toney. Your thoughts?

    Freddie Roach did a good job with de la Hoya in the first half of the Mayweather fight. Oscar neglected his jab in the second part otherwise it could of been a different outcome.

    Yep.

    He also appeared to have gassed hard by round 10.

    That being said, theres no way other than "You have to take the belt from the champ" (i.e KO or DESTROY him) that fight should have been anything but a UD for Mayweather.

    Has Freddie Roach had any other fighters in with Mayweather other than Oscar?

    That's what you have got to love about boxing, styles makes fights. Mayweather nearly lost to Oscar where as Pac destroyed him. I know Oscar was very weight drained but I so wished it had happened a few years ago but it is intriguing.

    Pac fought Oscar a year later after he gave FLoyd all he can handle, and Oscar was preparing for a rematch with Floyd at 147 before Floyd retired. Pac just stepped in and did a demolition job.

    Corrales was more drained vs FLoyd than Oscar was, the guy had to go to sauna to make weight and ballooned 16lbs from 130, and his punch resistance wasnt there unlike Oscar who could still take it.
