Why is the name of Roach in the title if it's Atlas who said that?

On 760 ESPN radio, Robert Smith the former Viking RB has a daily sports show. He is a big boxing fan and had Teddy Atlas on yesterday. If you want to hear it you can click on the link and look for his show.
He basically says that Mayweather beats Manny because JMM had success against him because he's a counter puncher and Floyd is the same but with more speed and size.
He said he's was very impressed with Manny and he's a freak of nature. He's incredibly strong and fast and didn't lose any of it by moving up.
For the record, I pick Mayweather against Manny but wouldn't be shocked if he did beat Mayweather.
He was also asked if Manny had the power to KO Mayweather and Atlas said YES.
that makes sense....
A green, raw, one armed Pacquiao fought a 30 year old in his absolute physical prime marquez at 126 & 34 years old at 130.
While pink floyd fought a 36 year old career featherweight at welterweight after having 3 straight tough fights where he was hurt vs pacquiao, casamayor, & diaz.
So in conclusion;
A one handed still developing pacquiao fought a young, prime marquez at 126, & 130 struggled while pink floyd had a easy time with used up 36 year old at featherweight, add the fact that pacquiao is much improved...
equals pac getting KTFO by potshotter pink floyd.Comment

Haha, i was slightly confused when i came in this thread, i was like why would Pac's own trainer say that?!Comment

mayweather is the king when it comes to adjusting in a fight,he also said after the jmm fight he's needs to throw more combos, if floyd needs to throw combos he will.People talk like floyd cant throw them anymore, he just hasnt needed to for a long time. if the fight happens floyd will be throwing 4-5 punch combos in the mid to late rounds.Comment

I think your going over the top a little. Pac was not the green, one armed fighter he was when he fought JMM. It wasn't 10 years ago.....
He was as good as he is now IMO, people just don't want to give JMM that much credit for some reason.
I think this Cotto fight showed how good JMM really is and how he had to overcome the speed and power difference between him and Pac.
Floyd is a different animal though. Say what you want about him as a person, in the ring he's the truth.Comment

Funny thing is, the Atlas curse doesn't have effect on either Floyd or Manny, so who knows.On 760 ESPN radio, Robert Smith the former Viking RB has a daily sports show. He is a big boxing fan and had Teddy Atlas on yesterday. If you want to hear it you can click on the link and look for his show.
