    I agree with one thing u said, make him be on offensive. That's ur best way of winning. That's how Zab got off to a great start. Being just as fast as Mayweather and south paw help as well. 2nd, be smarter than him. People don't realize Mayweather biggest strength is his mind. He's always the smarter fighter. 3rd, u must have more than one game plan, and be able to adjust. If Roach think Mayweather is that simple to beat, he's not smart at all lol

    So u are another person who think just because Manny beat DLH and Hatton 2 years later is better than Mayweather? Style makes fights. If that's the case. How come Mosley Ko'ed Margo when Margo Ko'ed Cotto, and Cotto beat Mosley? Once again, style makes fights.

    Isn't this like saying "If you have the most points at the end of the game, you win"?

    It's hard to beat someone up that your not able to cut the ring off against, Floyd is beatable like everyother fighter in history but I highly doubt Floyd would get beat up if he were to ever lose a fight.

    You would like to think that but you would lose all that money you put up...Floyd Mayweather is the smartest boxer alive today...

    He smothered Gatti...

    He smothered Zab...

    He smothered Corely...

    He smothered Ricky...

    He'd smother Paul. No Joke!

    Roach is right on going to the body and forgetting chasing his head. He is a bit off on saying that Manny beat the same DLH that gave Floyd problems. And really that 154 DLH that gave Floyd problems used a good jab and good defense. Zabs jab gave floyd fits too as someone else said.

    The last person who tried to rough floyd up (hatton) got KOed. Hatton underestimated floyds fitness and I think Roach is doing the same if he thinks Floyd will tire in the late rounds. The Hatton fight was a tough grueling inside fight and Floyd looked fresh after it. He stayed in shape his entire time off and trains harder than almost everyone, he aint going to tire.

    Roach also has to remember that body attacks arent usually scored as well as headshots by the judges. If this fight goes 12 with PBF still keeping up with Pac and countering him with headshots while pac has been landing on PBF's arms and elbows all night, Roach will regret that when it comes down to the score cards.

    :deal

    JMM disrupted Manny's rythm with superior boxing skills and a good game plan. Floyd will baffle Manny I think.

    YOu are right Mannys style showed a much more hungry impressive fighter, a fighter who came to get it.
    Floyds style bores the fans to death, your right styles do make fights, if Floyd didnt fight like such a ***** he could have probably done the same with both fighters, However its Floyds fault for having that self doubt.

    Exactly. Bring Pacquiao's speed into consideration as well, and I fail to understand why the majority of Floyd fans think this will be a walk in the park for him.

    With regard to Freddie's comments, it was very clear in the first Castillo fight that Floyd did not like being hit downstairs. The Roach could be right.
