i think roach is wrong.

When Pac beats Floyd the *****s will say Floyd was flat footed, old etc, and diminish the victory and scream for Paul Williams or some ****

 

Roach needa be worrying about what the hell he can do to control the tempo of this fight...his fighter dont got the footwork advantage in this fight and will be handcuffed and wont be able to "fight" and will have to "box" a very good technical boxer...

 

i agree 100%

 

did someone honestly say marquez has poor footwork? what the hell is wrong with these people.

 

Well Ishe Smith who was a sparring partner seemed to disagree with Roach on his article at the scene.

 

Roach has his moments of honesty and his moments where he selling something. In this interview he was selling something. Roach is a highly intelligent pugilist and I'm pretty sure he doesn't truly believe that.

 

There is no point of mental warfare with Floyd, I don't think it matters with him, he's probably the type of athlete that puts up all these crazy rumors about him on his fridge to motivate himself like Michael Jordan did where his imagined enemies were greater than the real ones. Besides, go ahead Roach, hype Manny up even more to the public, so that when Floyd destroys him, I can laugh that much harder.

 

No, the reason he fought that way was that offence was the best deffence agaisnt Mosley. Mosley is a fast guy who's punches he can't dodge so he had to not allow him to get off at all. The way he did that was to not allow him to find his distance and timing and to find a way to reach may, and the way he did that was to keep landing on him.

If you look at the Judah fight he fought the same way. That's the way he fights against guys who are too fast for him to be able to dodge their punches.

 

Floyd will be Pacs last fight.
Floyd will destroy him and retire him.
Everything else is just B.S to promote the fight and build up the gate.
The steriod stuff is just clever marketing.

 

Well, Floyd has always been rather flat footed and moved very deliberately, he has never been the type that fights on his toes. His defense has always been primarily based on blocking and head movement.

 

Like anybody wants to see that Giant fight these lil 147 pounders
