good post!!!!
Thanks Man! I'm just trying to make a decision on this fight...
Like most gamblers, it's emotion that gets in the way. I try to just look at every possible angle, then think from there. I'm a Pac fan but this fight right here is more of a chess match IMO. The main thing that would give Pac the edge is preparation and strategy.
I know plenty of people here on BS dislike Roach... but you just have to hand it to the man, he just knows how to prepare fighters, provided they do what he says. I truly believe that Roach sees something to exploit with Floyd. For those rooting for Pac I guess its best to hope that he sees what Roach sees.
As for Floyd, if Pac does not follow the game plan which I honestly think would be an assortments of faints/baits/parry's then it would look like something like the De La Hoya fight for Floyd.
Watching that fight (DLH vs PBF) with all honesty Oscar had a chance. He just didn't have the confidence. If you listen to Roach he keeps on saying that Oscar needs to set the jab up or make it seem like a semi faint to bait Floyd. Oscar saw what Roach saw... He just couldn't do it... Maybe that's why Roach said Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore...
Again, just my two cents...
Well to be fair on both fighters... I see this going both ways, and that the outcome of the fight would depend on both fighters ability not to adjust but to anticipate.
The way I see it is that if Manny tries to faint and/or do a faint/parry to get Floyd to commit to a counter then moving in to bust the most, a 3 punch combo would be the key for the Pacman.
Veiwing some of Floyd's fights it seems that he is just to fast for his opponents. However with the Zab Judah fight, I saw that Floyd tries to out think Zab and making him attack more than he expected, trying to read Zab's faints.
On the other hand, Floyd's key to the fight is to out think Pac (which is very possible) and try to anticipate his faints more and baiting him to move in. If Floyd faints then steps back making Pac commit to move forward then throw his straight right then things would be a whole lot different.
Just my two cents...
Lol trust me...If pac comes out swinging like a maniac in the first round the fight will be over quickly...and the winner will not be from the Philipines..He would either get tagged and dropped or exposed to the fact that he can't penetrate mayweathers defense and be frustrated the rest of the nite
I still kinda doubt that... the Pac that would come out in round one would be similar to the first round of DLH vs Pac. He'll start out very cautious. from then on that's where the fight materializes. If Pac's faints/parry/baits work then expect Floyd to adjust mid way through the fight. If it doesn't, then it's DLH vs PBF all again...
again, I could always be wrong...
Typical Roger contradictory statements. "If Marg loses it's because he took a dive." "There's no way he can lose to Marg."
:lol1:
Dude! Screw you! I hate you right now for that clip on your sig! Ghad Damn!!! Now i have to scour the internet for that movie! dammit! Rachel Leigh Cook!
Damn!!! Hahaha!
Well that's your opinion. I was talking about Roger making a fool of himself. Pac has his own business and people should respect that. If that's who he wants to fight and how he wants to fight them, there's really nothing we can do. Because it's a done deal.
When Floyd fought Marquez I'm pretty sure some people had there panties in a twist, and that's almost the same thing.
Only Oscar and B-Hop had it right, and yet again it was their choice. So stop complaining about the catchweight, because your god had one too and never had any intention of respecting that deal.
I get the point about the catchweights... what I don't get is why would he kill himself to make weight this time around if he was always a Welterweight?
well if that's the case... JMM killed himself to make weight I guess...
YO, I love that scene too.
I think that's from 11:14 or something like that...
Anyway back to the topic at hand, Roger should really shut up if they won't fight pac... It's just getting humiliating for you to constantly contradict yourself. It's just like when Floyd said that pac's win over marquez was a split decision and that it was "iffy".
Well guess who got some split decision wins too?
That's why! he has been a WW all his carrer and it was time for him to move up, he had allready talked about moving up but the only reason he stayed was because WW was where all the big names where at.
Yeah, get your point man... But Marg was a beast prior to the hand wrap incident and PBF was nowhere to be found at that weight class, and now that he's getting in a fight at 150 he's killing himself? someone must tell Roger that if he's killing himself at 150 then they should have taken the fight at 147...
And knowing PBF he would talk about being Marg being a cheat...
Oh well... Hehehe!
