roach has his opinions but whatever. say what you want freddie. we'll see just how complete of a fighter floyd is when he picks apart your golden come may 5th. there's nothing roach can do that will stop mayweather from punishing(there goes that word again) oscar and he will punish him dearly.

Even Freddie doesn't believe this. He's just running his mouth because of all the things that have been said about him by the Mayweathers.

What is not complete about him Freddie? He don't have power, he is fighting guys that are 15 lbs heavier than him and keeping them at bay. What is he talking about? who is a complete fighter cause damn sure aint Pacman? Floyd Sr was right, he don't know nothing and can't teach a cat to piss.

Well in a sense Freddie's right. Floyd is not the most complete fighter around, even if he is the best. Floyd in fact doesn't have power at 147 let alone 154.

And a complete foighter is one who can fight any fight. Floyd can't stand and trade, can't stalk, etc., he needs to fight a very specific fight. This is not a criticism, just a comment.

At his natural weight and even a little above, yes he can. Its when he gets to 154 that he really won't be able to stand in with DLH. He usually stands toe-to-toe with everyone unless he breaks his hand. Thats not saying the he lets himself get hit, but when do you see him go almost completely defensive? When his hand is hurt. Floyd will do a lot of sticking and moving against DLH, win a UD and get ripped apart because he didn't stand in front of DLH and let himself get beat up.

Roach is just trying to bait him into to slugging it out with Oscar, which would be a mistake. I wouldn't try to read any more into it than that

Ive seen FLoyd stand and trade, I have also seen him stalk. I agree that he isnt a complete fighter at 147 or 154 though because he has very little power at those weights.

The record speaks for itself...
