    floyd disagrees with you.
     
  2. Roach is an idiot. Floyd ADMITTED that he fought Shane that way to please the fans. He said that he normally doesn't fight like that but wanted to do so to give the fans what they wanted to see: a toe-to-toe battle. Well, Floyd did that, and Shane was nowhere to be found after round 2.

    Roach is just scared, IMO. He knows how excellent Floyd is and he knows that his fighter is in serious jeopardy of losing should he ever step in the ring with him.

    Yeah I noticed some of them, but they were just far too few to even get a bearing on whether you could call them a success. It's not impossible to land a body shot on Floyd. The difficult part is landing enough of them on a consistent basis

    Floyd has the best footwork in the game. Still. Maybe ever.

    roach is a ****ing buffoon... you can youtube mayweather all the way back to corrales fight if you want and you can see that he has the same style as the mosley fight. He moves less because it is more efficient

    Roach doesn't believe that Floyd's legs are gone.

    That is just a narrative he is trying to sell the public on, because after looking at how Mayweather destroyed Mosley, it would not be unreasonable for the public to think Pacquiao has little chance, and if enough people think this, then the Box Office will be less.

    i think roach knows the hard task ahead in his fighter beating mayweather. they both, roach and pacquiao rated mosley very highly before floyd put a clinic on mosley, and that must be like a "****inhell" sort of shock, and i know pacquiao apparantly came out saying floyd is very fast, which we all knew, but maybe it was like a realisation sort of moment for pacquiao in how good floyd actually is.

    the only positive roach can really come out with this is floyd got hurt, and the negative to that is how quick he recovered. i still don't know how floyd didn't go down with that second punch mosley landed, that was a huge punch that landed.

    a couple of months back you had roach saying he wants the fight because floyd is rusty, floyd is brittle, and all of that, well now you got floyd who obviously doesn't look too rusty, and doesn't look too brittle when regarding the actual punch he took would knock out a few welterweights. yep, i see a very tough fight for pacquiao, and i think roach knows it, but can't say it. floyd is a style nightmare for trainers because floyd adapts very well during fights, and with the talent he's got aswell makes him a very hard boxer to beat.


    sorry if i made any mistakes but i've had to rush this post very quickly.

    Floyd will to win is his biggest attribute.
    Seriously Floyd looks soft, he looks weak, he looks like some young punk.
    But the dude can fight his ass off and your in trouble if you make him sprout wings and grow a tail.
    Dude looks weak and soft many fighters look like him he one of the smaller looking welters in the division. Mentally he is above the rest thats why he is what he is Pac gonna get hit by that fire ball.

    Pac is mentally strong to, not so smart but strong willed how else can you get your ear broke and continue? peds or will whatever it is pac is gonna take a pounding and he not gonna give a **** lol
    good fight on the rise and yes them one sided mayweather wins are good fights to me

    Sigh. Roach is saying this to put the footwork advantage on Paq's side. Mental warfare.

    On another note, don't kid yourselves. Paq vs Floyd fight is not happening.

    He always talks ****, and he knows it. If Pac beats Floyd, I will laugh so much if people say "Floyd's legs were gone, he's shot". People always believe Roach when he says stuff to discredit Pac (which is stupid from him). But this pretty much confirms he's talking **** and he doesn't always believe it. Of course some are very selective, and only believe Roach when it doesn't benefit Pac.
