    It was actually painfully apparent after the first round. Manny looked completely disheartened in the corner, realizing that Floyd was going to be dictating the pace and refusing to allow Pac to set himself and exchange shots.

    Roach's advice? More footwork...

    Not just because what he said, but he did come across better and more likable in this interview than in most others. Props to him for saying that; most trainers in his shoes wouldn't have.

    That's what great leaders do. Like Alexander the Great slept in until late afternoon on the day of the battle of Gaugamela :lol:

    Alexander the Great fan?

    I love history so love reading about Alexander.

    Pretty epic upon seizing the crown from his dead father, Alexander murdered every single one of his family members to secure safety from being overthrown by his family. He spared one mentally hindered distant cousin, who he shipped to an island off Greece to live out his days with a small staff of soldiers... Unfortunately because of this when Alexander succumbed to the flu there was no one to inherit and maintain his kingdoms. They were all instantly independent once again. From age 17 to 27, he conquered the largest amount of Earth as any other before or after spare for Genghis Khan (and Kubla Khan whom inherited it from Genghis, who I believe was his uncle?).

    Klitschko actually HURTS his opponents, and every jab seems to be worth a damn, he also knocks people out. He actually hurts people, he is not feather fisted, running and pot shooting.

    He's cool and real here because he's not promoting a fight. I like this Freddie.

    Buuuut that explains Pac losing 9-3, his trainer was sleep! Mayweather's genius plan lol

    Aaaand whaaat?! He thinks Mayweather deserves athlete of the year over Rousey? What do the Pac cheerleaders think?

    DUH! Roach, your strategy was explained by Excusequiao "if he stay there, I throw many punches." The God would deliver him to our hands strategy failed.

    "Excusequiao"??!? Even assuming you are a 12 year old, all I can say is GROW THE FCUK UP. Seriously, it doesn't work, is basically in-pronounceable and it makes you seem like a total idiot.

    I'm 11 to be exact! 118-110!

    Why should I spend my time writing "Manny Pacquiao, who had nothing but excuses" instead of "Excusequiao"? Same meaning. Even idiots like you know what I meant.

    If I remember right, Kubla Khan was the third oldest recognized son of Genghis, but something about the other two didn't "seem" like his actual off-spring to him. I may be getting it screwed up with some other Khans though.
