I remember when Robert Guerrero and his team thought Floyd legs were shot (after watching Cotto fight) and devised their whole game plan on that notion and thought some toe to toe sh*t. Turned out Floyd legs were perfectly fine in the fight. Do you think Roach is making the same mistake?
If Mosley was able to pivot out of the way of the left hand, why does Mayweather's feet need to be any better than it's been in the past? I don't get it. Just control range, wait for Pacquiao to do the typical stutter step and then quickly side step, Mayweather is still fast enough and controls range well enough to easily do that.
No
His gameplan is to have manny hunt Floyd down and when he's on the ropes, unleash with combos. In and out movement. Combos
Indeed. He is banking on Manny's punch output, keeping it rough on Floyd and Manny's fast feet.
In and out movement .. Disrupting Floyd's Rhytmn . Throwing punches in bunches. Occupying Floyd with feints and volume of punches.
When PAC shoots his left he always dips n ducks right...expect body digs and left hooks when Manny tries this
Manny jumps in and out and that's detrimental against a guy with an eye for opponents pulling back and hands down
...every jab Manny throws his left his down....every left hand his right is down...by round 5 he is frustrated waving Floyd in...pressure and feints sounds good but he getting hit on the way out and in....when he is resting and bouncing that's when Floyd forces to fight between rests....winky wright was great at that as well

I think.that will be difficult to do without a good jab. I don't see Pacquiao getting away with the jumping in and out against Mayweather without getting hit with clean counter punches.
That strategy sounds too basic for Floyd. I feel like so many fighters tried that already.
It'd always pressure, pressure, pressure until he hits you clean...then comes survival mode ...Floyd isn't gonna just let Manny unleash on him and roach better devise a plan to avoid lead rights and counters
PAC ain't knocking out no top notch welters anymore let alone the champ who has been visibly hurt maybe 3 times since 2005
Its gonna be about will n skill...PAC gets frustrated may weather is cold and calm as an ice berg, all business mid fight...may weather knows this fight is his biggest, he has a lot to lose and will come with a chip on his shoulder... Roach better expect the best money may we've seen in years

I doubt that after 5 years,roaches plan for the biggest fight of this generation is "I hope that Floyd legs are shot,so he can't move away from us. If not,we're f*cked"
