    Wrong - Rjj vs Tony is a bad example, Tony is not and has never been real active in the ring even in his prime. Floyd and Tony both have proven that their style of defense work well against fast fighters.

    Roach is making an obvious statement, anyone that knows the Floyd defensive style know he never uses that style against a south paw because he leave him open for the jab and the south paw straight left takes away his ability to bend at the waist to his right.

    Floyd wont use the shoulder roll against pac, not because of his speed or his power , but because the shoulder roll has a mechanical disadvantage against south paws period.

    Old news, and PBF knows his shoulder roll won't work, it doesn't work on southpaws if your orthodox. yeah floyd's fights can be slow, be he is very intelligent, and if roach thinks floyd doesn't or isn't going to know what to do, pac is gonna be in for a long night if they fight. PAC cannot be one dimentional in this fight even though he's fast and ruthless. it just wont work with floyd, he has to be able to adapt and actually box, cuz floyd won't brawl with PAC AND his defense with or without a shoulder roll is undeniable. yes floyd has never fought a fighter like PAC, and PAC has never fought a fighter like PBF. this matchup will be brains verse brawns, but if PAC cant adapt like in the JMM fights, it is gonna take one of those left hooks to take out floyd. and to set that up on floyds D, is gonna take one hell of a setup cuz floyd won't walk into it like hatton.

    I agree with the technical aspect of what he is saying, still easier said than done.
