    As if he had a choice!!!!

    If he still has his legs, I am sure he will do a baldomir.

    Yeah. Addressed that possibility in a response post on the first page.

    However, his style against Baldomir was still a choice. He has shown that he will stand his ground in other fights. It depends what he feels he wants to do.

    At this point however, like many others have wondered and even said....are the legs the cause of how he has to fight. Like I pointed out a few times before...like a Post-exile Ali.
    It's the legs that seems to get Roach exciting about this fight and his willingness to make this fight.

    Either way, its more exciting for the fans. And against Pac, it's probably better this way because if he had all his bags of tricks like he did below WW...it is more than likely to be one sided unless he chooses to stand his ground.

    Ain't happening.

    Pac will always connect regardless how elusive Tweetybird gayweather.

    I voted either way...I highly appreciate his technical skills, but it was nice to see him willing to mix it up as well. Shows he's not just a dandy.

    I'm surprised a lot of people think Cotto made him fight that way. From my perspective, it was Floyd himself who chose to fight that way.

    He can connect but it won't matter. He won't be able to do it repeatedly.

    Peak Floyd > Peak JMM

    Speed, Agility, Combination Punching, etc. when Floyd was at his peak, was amazing. Pac would be cut up.

    Pac's best chance to beat Floyd is Floyd's own decline and inactivity.

    Roach knows that more than anyone.
