Floyd Mayweather’s legs are a little shot and his defensive abilities are waning, says Freddie Roach.
That is why Manny Pacquiao’s trainer believes Mayweather could be the perfect target for the Filipino when the two welterweights meet in Las Vegas on May 2.
Mayweather and Pacquiao on Wednesday turned out for their only joint press conference in the build-up to the bout.
"He has slowed down quite a bit. He is going to have to exchange more because his legs won't take him out of the way. If he has to exchange with Manny Pacquiao he is in trouble," Roach said.
Roach believes Mayweather would have had a better chance of beating Pacquiao five years ago, when attempts to make the fight fell apart.
Speaking about indications that Mayweather had become more willing to go toe-to-toe in an effort to please fans, Roach said:
"That's bullsh*t. He doesn't care about the fans. He has to exchange more because his legs won't take him out of the way."
