I think Pacquiao coming in heavier than Floyd and having a hurt shoulder threw off his game-plan more than Floyd's chin... also expecting Floyd to have aged legs. That was dumb af. So, your gameplan's hope falls on a shot Floyd? Yeah, ok.
Roach's game plan was for Manny to fight in slow motion, because Pac is GOAT at slow-motion replay fights
Roach should retire after that shi tty game plan. I thought he was a better trainer than that but it was like they had never seen Floyd fight before. Pac was clueless for the most part on how to attack Floyd. It was like Roach really believed that BS that Floyd had no legs and all Pac had to do was flurry and they'd take it. No plan B, C, or even A.atsch
Roach knew that Mayweather's legs were still pretty much solid. Everyone just needs to find an excuse to justify their hatred for Mayweather. According to Roach, Mayweather lost his legs against Maidana 1, then he ran Maidana 2. Even against Guerrero, Mayweather has no legs according to Roach, but then vs Canelo Mayweather ran. I think and believe that Freddie Roach is overrated as a coach.
Floyd looks slow if he comes in heavy (160 ish) like he did against Maidana. But when he comes in under 150, like he did against Canelo and Pac, then his legs are fine. Horrible team move to bring in Pac at his heaviest.
Absolutely not. Mayweather weighed more than Maidana did fight night in their rematch. You do realize this? I'm not sure who said it, but it was someone from Mayweather's team in an interview. They were with him when he stepped on the scale.
Roach's game plan wasn't thrown off bc he didn't actually have one. Simple as that. They thought that they ciuld steal rounds by flurrying on the ropes and Floyd didnt spend much time there. Roach admitted in an interview that he thought Floyd was faster than Manny and Floyd was. His foot work is light years ahead as well. Some of you idiots expected a guy smaller than Floyd without a jab to walk him down. I told you from the jump that Manny would not be throwing 100 punches per round and combinations bc you have to be in range to do that. Roach had no game plan and they just showed up for a check. 5 yrs ago Floyd would have beat him worse than he did May 2.
