Roach: The key to beating Mayweather is to literally beat him up.

Freddie is right here because when Castillo beat Mayweather in the first fight, that's exactly what he did...

 

Judah attacked w/speed timing & accuracy plus hes more explosive & look what happened!

Floyd never waivers, he just adjust! As Manny's connections percentage decreases(it won't be high anyway) Floyds will increase. Ppl tend to act as if Floyd has no offense, Folyd is the best counter puncher in the game so let Roach tell Manny to go after him, & he will pay! He'll be the one getting beat up.

I think this is the one fight that will have Manny revert back to some of his wild tendacies and believe me he will pay dearly if he does! I doubt Manny will connect on Floyd at a higher rate than any of his other opponents, but on the other hand, Floyd will connect higher than any of Manny's previous opponents! Manny will eventually become target practice & he will be punished & most likely stopped!

If this fight happens I hope Roach puts those keys to beating Mayweather on a towel so when he throws it in @ rd 9 Manny can pick it up & throw it back at him in discuss! :yep

 

i agree. Hatton has been Ko'd by a lot of fighters before, even by PBF. I just cant remember them right now.

 

First off Mayweather didnt struggle at all against DLH or Hatton, all walk in the parks. 2nd theres NO WAY IN HELL Mayweather is an easier fight then Cotto or Mosley. you must not know anything about boxing. Mayweather has adjusted to everybody hes fought and were talking about maybe the best boxer this ERA and you say its an easy fight??? PUT DOWN THE PIPE SON!!!

 

Zab Judah is a counter puncher who caught Floyd flush a few times coming in. Still Floyd outlanded Zab in those 4 rounds by 2 punches and doubled up Zabs activity.

Manny Pacquiao is not a counter puncher. So comparing them really is pretty meaningless. the only simularity is that they are both south paws.

 

but they were aiming for the head which was a very hard thing to do. Even hatton, who's known to always hunt the body resorted to hunting the head because he got impatient.

 

Are you suggesting Manny go for the Body?:huh

 

Pacquiao pressures a lot differently than Hatton; so saying that pressuring and roughing him up doesn't work because of how the Hatton fight went, is idiotic.

The biggest reason Floyd will struggle with Pac is his speed - both hand and foot. He'll have a lot less room for error and will get caught flush. He doesn't like that.

 

I knew floyd a rotator cuff problem but didnt know he had surgery...ccan anyone confirm this??

also whats with the knee problem? and info here? thanks

 

well if the head is open, go! but PBF is good at hiding his head so it should'nt be the priority. Aim for the parts that are there to hit, arms, shoulders, wrist, biceps..just inflict pain and concentrate on doing it on the parts that PBF uses that makes defending his head masterfully. But dont stay too close for too long, because Pbf likes timing his opponents when they tire of trying to hit his head and they leave themselves open.

 

Looks like you will be betting on May's fight to be asking all those questions....:hey

 

I hear you on the part about his head being a hard target, but attacking his body could lead to a counter uppercut from a speedy counter puncher!

Also,..I believe if Floyd turns up his offense Manny will be in deep trouble because he will have no defensive ans. not his speed, he's nowhere near as accurate, and I never thought Manny had great timing!

 

no it isnt for betting purposes...my view is a manny win anyway. I cant see floyd winning enough rounds vs manny.

 

Nice to see Mr Roach is not looking past Cotto !!!!! :----(

 

Yes, thats why i prefer he hit the arms and extremities from afar. No defense?? Manny's defense is not the typical step back, dodge the punch and then counter punch, if thats what you mean? So far, Manny has stepped back, throwing the right hook at an awkward stance and then hit his opponent, quite accurate if you watch carefully:yep. But yeah, its still not his specialty. What Manny does is half-step going back, and when his opponent thinks he's gonna step back some more, they accelerate forward to catch him, but then Manny stops and bends forward to the weak side of his opponent. The assault then comes to a halt. We all know Manny doesnt rely on his counterpunching skills.
