Why Pretty Boy vs Pacman "may" happen

[check hook]

You may have noticed some comments Roach made a few days ago about Floyd's legs being "gone"

If Freddie believe's these comments 100% we will see the Pac vs Floyd fight become reality in the next month or so. I will elaborate why.

Manny's style (IMO) is based on 4 things. Volume, reflexes, stamina and speed (and more than hand speed, specifically footspeed). Manny has gobbled up slow footed fighters. Cotto, ODLH and Clottey. All these guys fight like their feet are stuck in quicksand. Alot of posters, myself included point out they have no right hand, so they can't disrupt Manny's rythm, but the lack of foot speed is pehaps an even more distinct reason Pac slapped them around. Pac is able to get inside, get off and move out......Clottey was powerless, because after Pac unloaded he had no hope of catching him once Pac backed off.

Ricky Hatton at 140 is the exception. He has very quick feet. So quick he was able to keep up with Mayweather and Pac. If you watch that fight he was catching up with PAc and getting off easily, but Hatton leads with his head and telegraphs his punches (defensive holes) and Pac was always going to land.

The footspeed is a reason i believe Pac and Roach are currently staying at 147. At 140 i think Roach feels there is risky fights for Pac. Bradley, Alexander and Maidana can prob all, almost match Pac in stamina, and Maidana has 1 pucnch KO power. Bradley is a good boxer with excelent conditioning and Alexander has some good qualities Roach doesn't need Pac coming up against, for example that uppercut that picked Urango off the ground. Now i'm not saying these guys "would" beat Pac, but all of these fights are difficult.

So to conclude if Roach really feels PBF legs are gone this fight will happen!!!

Hope this mega-fight happens. I think pacquiao will eventually agree to the random blood tests so the fight can be made, cant wait till floyd beats pac!

Manny should fight Margarito. i dont want him to fight boring runner and chicken Floyd Mayweather jr...






































lol J/K Roach can't take the test for Pacquiao though, just as he can't make Floyd give up his ridiculous blood testing demands....

This fight needs to happen. But I doubt it will. Too many cut-offs, random this and that bullcrap. Things that people never talk about outside the Pac/May circle. Mayweather needs to man up and just fight. Apparently, Floyd fans are not so sure of their idol winning the fight, so they need to talk about blood, blood and more blood. It's sick being a boxing fan these days. It's terrible.

To the TS....
Get real. There's NOBODY on Pacquiao's level of competition at JW.

There's 0 doubt in my mind that Pac obliterates all 4 (via ko or ref/corner stoppage).
PAC and May are THE elite and there isn't a fighter in ANY lower division that gives them a competitive fight.

The TS may be using reverse psychology. You could see right thru a fanatical Floyd fan. He probably thinks Pac fans would cower in fear in seeing Pac lose and do the same childish protection Floyd fans exhibit in these forums.

I don't speak for Pac fans, but that's just dumb.

I agree with you on this, no one is touching Pac below 147
