    roach is probably saying that mayweather may have a weakness in his "heart"/will and mental toughness. if pac can find success with his power punches and take pbf to deep waters, he may be able to break mayweather's will to fight.

    if there is a will to fight that can be broken down here, it is probably mayweather's. pac is certainly the warrior here and there is just no such thing as quit on this guy. on the other hand, mayweather may just crack or quit altogether if faced w/ the same situation, preserve his health and take his guaranteed multi-millions to the bank. that's why they call him "Money" after all. in a close and very hard fight, it may all boil down to motivation and who wants it more.

    Whilst PAC is smaller than PBF he's very dangerous. I can actually c Lil Floyd getting battered.

    Pacquiao's hooks are so wide Mayweather will be able to roll his shoulder five times before Pac's punch lands...

    The punch Pac knocked Hatton out with - Mayweather could take a nap, have brunch, maybe bang his wife and have a cup of tea before coming back to block it with his shoulder.

    It's easy to be "2 from 2" when you only look at the predictions which were correct. That's like saying Hatton is undefeated in all the fights he won.

    What was Roach's "prediction" when De La Hoya fought Mayweather? Refresh my memory.

    BTW - Predictions from trainers don't mean ****, they always back whoever they're training.

    No. That punch was short and quick.

    That is an issue that many fighter's face at one time or another during their career. Your heart can be severely tested, especially during a grueling hard battle. But the one element that helps many fighters tough it out and pull through is PRIDE.

    Chico was a very pride full warrior and he would rather die than give up.

    It has yet to be seen if Floyd has that kind of pride ... because he's never been pushed to that limit. So if Pac-Man can get him to that place where he's never been before ... we will see what he's really made of.

    The thing is -- can the Pac-Man take him there.

    I don't think slow Marquez can do throw body punch on Mayweather without getting knocked out. He's a sitting duck if he mixes up w/ Floyd. If Pac can knock down Marquez, Floyd can knock him out easy.

    If you figure out a way to make it work, you'll make the Amateur forum on here very happy! :yep Myself? I just gave up and decided to trade. That usually didn't work out so well, either! :lol:

    pac may possibly dislocate pbf's shoulder with that punch he felled hatton with. then its bye bye shoulder roll. and pac's punches are so fast and accurate that you don't know when and where they're coming from. how can you block something, you can't see coming? hatton didn't even know what punch KO'd him.

    I don't know what you're talking about. Until these two fighters get into the ring and fight each, everything we say here are just speculations. Anything can happen inside the ring. Pac may spring another surprise like what he did to bigger and stronger dela Hoya.

    I'm not denying that. All I'm saying is he won't catch Floyd with that sort of punch. Hatton lunged in without moving his head, in kamikaze-like fashion. The straight left is a different story, that's the key for Pac.

    Yes, Void knows Pac will beat him, that's why he refused to fight him.
