ROACH: "Mayweather is a whole different ballgame. We need time"

[punchdrunk7]

That I do bro. I am a boxing fanatic and I call it like I see it man. Floyd is not a reckless fighter. Miguel Cotto became reckless after being hit by Pacman. He felt that he had to come back right away as the crowd cheered on Pac. He should have said just stay on his first round game plan and boxed. The key was his jab but we all know this is not miguel's style. He likes to mix it up. PBF on the other hands loves that game and will do it for 12 rounds. He won't care about the crowd. Floyd will expose the game plan to beat Pacman and then more people will follow that blueprint. Don't get me wrong. Manny is a great fighter and champion but not against Floyd. Adjustments will be made but the come will be the same. Floyd Mayweather gets his legacy points and then fights Shane Mosley.

exactly. cotto fights on emotion. floyd fights smart. wacquiao will get outboxed easily.

roach talks **** about floyd but he repects his skills and knows he will need more time to game plan. it doesnt mean they're scared of floyd they just know he brings alot of techinal skill. im sure floyd will put some extra time in also

[Sammy2g3]

I think Freddie Roach is smart enough to know that Floyd isn't damaged goods or going to be weight drained. Freddie Roach's plan for DLH didn't work against Floyd, but I think he'll try to wear Floyd down to the body.

Either way, whether your a *******, pacfan, or mayweather lover this will be a modern boxing classic.

PS Floyd barely ever runs, he just doesn't engage. lol

Take the time you need Roach.....all we want is an "L" on Mayweather's record. That is the goal.

Freddie The Joke Coach Roach

Early 2009: Floyd would be our toughest fight, stylistically.

Because of Floyd's counterpunching/running away from engaging...Pac will have to adjust his offense. Offensive boxers always works harder than a counterpuncher.

Mid 2009: Floyd will be our easiest fight to date.

Wtf?

In terms of not getting damaged from a fight. Just as Oscar said.....Floyd was his easiest fight. You don't have to worry about power punching and power flurries. Potshots is what Floyd does best. In the end Cotto will still be the guy that gave Pac the greatest damage and a very hard fight. Morales then Marquez is close 2nd and third.

Negotiations begin: Floyd is a whole different ball game...we'll need more time.

Wtf?

Floyd is skilled in the counterpunching department......Pac will have to takle more risk to win and at the same time make the fight entertaining. Floyd has little flaws defensively...you need a lot of video watching to get to his "habits".

[VERDUGO]

Teach Pac how to cut off the ring.... cause Pac looked ****** following cotto around on their second half of their fight.

Morales and Marquez did a HELL of a lot more damage than Cotto. That's not even debatable. Cotto hardly did anything even when Manny let him hit him.

**** where have you been????? Where have you been hiding???? You know your boxing and am glad to found you on here instead of the little hardcore name calling warriors that we have on here, Its refreshing to see someone that understand and study a boxing match, Someone that uses an unbiase view to analyse a fight.

The highlighted bit is exact why cotto lost the fight after a good first round IMHO, He lost his head after he got hit by Pac, Wanting to stand is ground and the rest was history.
