    Ok what part of Floyd vs Mosley should i re watch where it will show me that he has slowed down Gander?

    this whole fight boils down to the game plan. if manny can keep floyd uncomfortable, i think he'll win the fight. roach needs to concoct some hannibal type strategies, several of them to adopt and abandon throughout the fight.

    Non boxing fans should know that the reason Pac touches the waistline of his shorts is to rub away the Vaseline that are on his gloves. What does that mean? He is ready for the next kill. Vaseline reduces the "cutting" power when leather touches your opponents skin.

    hey, thanx for the insight - yeah, they do love to slather that vaseline on the face and sometimes the ref has the corner wipe off an over-excessive amount

    100% agree

    its down to Gameplan and Versatility to apply ANY gameplan in full effectiveness. Seems like Roach concocts a new gameplan to tailor fit an opponent and Pacquiao is able to go through it perfectly, making every fight almost a shut-out or a KO victory. Mayweather's style is very STATIC.... that means he's not adaptable, and his style is very gameplannable....

    any part. he's slower, no doubt about it. My guess it's all the muscle he packed on, plus his age. He's still fast, but Pacquiao definitely looks faster with his hands and feet based on their last fights.

    Come on bro you can do better than that. If you are going to say somebody is slower then you should be able to see something that let's you know he is slower. Anyway i hear you just make sure you find me when the fight is about to jump off!

    I'm just comparing their last two fights, I have them both in HD on my computer. Floyd is still very fast, but he's not blinding fast anymore. You can see the punches now, whereas before they came so fast you couldn't see them. Just an observation.

    Yeah I'll be here when fight goes down don't worry man :lol:

    I see the sense behind doing it after you land your own shots, but I don't understand why he does that AFTER being hit though? It's not like the guy hitting him is applying vaseline to his gloves.

    You do know that Roach trained like three different guys against Void, but they all lost to Void?

    Both guys bring a bit of something that the other hasn't exactly seen before, so whoever solves the puzzle first will have the upper hand. Void's game is all about versatility, adaptability, and adjustments.

    -must be able to think and make adjustments, not just follow orders
    -must be able to fight off the ropes
    -must have an excellent jab
    -must be at least 5'7"
    -must have a great inside game
    -must wear gloves that are not cleto reyes
    -must not be fighter of the decade (floyd fights his best when he's jealous or has a chip on his shoulder)
    -must speak great english in order to intimidate floyd with superior trash talking
    -must look like ellerbe to limit floyd's determination to throw his hardest punches
