    Another ******ed fan.
    Compared to the beating he's gonna get from Pac, it's going to be the first time he's been hit hard. Idiot. Everything's got to be explained to you ******ed *****s.

        Anyone who doubts the words of ROach is an idiot.

        He has been right on cue this past few years.

          The fact that Cotto who is much slower and much less skilled than mayweather was able to tag manny all night with clean shots even in the 11th round let's me know that mayweather can tag and will tag manny at will. Don't get it twisted. Floyd will not go after manny with his head leaning forward. He will not abandon the jab, he is more accurate, he has way better timing and his defense is the probably the best of our time or anytime for that manner. Manny's is fast, has a great chin and has great punching power. His skills aren't comparable to Floyd's, his footwork is not better than floyd's and he's by no means smarter than floyd as far as ring generalship is concerned. Manny's last couple of fights have all been against fighters that stand in front of him and trade. The defense minded Floyd will outbox manny for majority of the fight and probably push for the KO in the later rounds after manny's frustration and discouragement sets in.

          Oh and let's not forget that Floyd has about a 2 and a half inch reach advantage and an inch and a half height advantage...
          clear your mind and think about it logically... Manny will have a bad night against Floyd

            These *******s are fools homey. Best advice I can give to you is find all the *******s in your town and if the fight gets find a bet to take everything they have from them.

                you got it wrong coach. there was a reason why cotto deviated from his jab. manny was able to counter it in rd2 already and followed it up w/ a flurry. cotto had to and was forced to trade, or just run away. he couldnt handle the speed exchange.

                when manny would let him, thats when he was able to use the jab again. but the hurt accumulation slowed him down already.

                one of the most coherent things ive read here so far.

                  After watching Manny take Cotto's best punch, I really don't see Floyd having enough to keep Pac off of him. He may catch Manny coming in and buzz him since he's a lot better at finding that opening and throwing the perfect counter. But it won't be enough to get Manny discouraged or force him lower his workrate.

                  Whether you like to admit it or not Hatton did make his impression felt against Floyd with his footspeed. I don't think he got off much, but he forced Floyd to fight. Manny will force him to fight.

                    Sighs

                    Mayweather is a diffrent fighter than Cotto. How did JMM keep Pac off him? With accurate counter punches

                    You're a fool if you think Mayweather can't hurt Pac. Fool .
