Cut the ring in half and do a relentless attack,Since I think he can handle his punch.(Mayweathers punch is a little harder than Malignani)

I'm wondering if Mayweather is gonna give out 3 out of the 4 first rounds. Thats pretty much what I'm worried about.

I think he's going to be the same Pac-man, but with some different moves, and maneuvers. Floyd Mayweather's style is completely different from the last fighters, or any fighter Pac has fought, and Roach probably needs to make a couple adjustments in Pacquiao's technique. There are certain stuff Pacquiao does that Floyd can capitalize on, and I think Roach wants to fix those stuff. The clash of styles is definetely going to be interesting; it will be defense vs offense.

So I'm reading all of Roach's comments on the potential matchup and I seriously think Roach is doing way too much. His words to me seem to imply that he'd like to revamp manny whole style for that fight and that to me seems like just all bad for pacquioa. IMO Pacquioa is not going to able to fight a complicated fight with mayweather and going to any other style than what manny is most comfortable with will make this an easy UD win for mayweather. If pac's going to have any chance against may he's going to have to test his will like no other fighter has and even then I still think Mayweather will out adapt him and get the win but with a complicated change of style manny has little to no chance of winning this fight. What do you guys think???

I agree.if Roach tries to change Pacs style,pacman will get confused when it dont work and the he is going to put his arms up in anger as per usual and get a straight right in his face,over and over again..
in my opinion his best chance as you did say would be to fight a similar fight to what he has done in his last few fights but either way I still fancy Mayweather..But if Roach over complicates things,pac man will lose badly..the difference between FLoyd and PAc which everyone does not mention is that Floyd can adapt in the ring without anyone telling him how to where as Pac will need Roach to be on top form to get out of that ring not too hurt but still lose...its just my opinion,so dont bash me ,be like me....LMAO!!!

Mayweather has fought fast fighters before. Ndou was pretty quick and Zab Judah was argubly faster than May but still got waxed.

Pacquiao has never fought anyone close to Mayweathers speed. He is out of his depth and will most likely make a fool of himself on March 13th looking for the desparation KO. The more I think about this fight the more it looks like a mismatch and PBF will recieve no credit for beating him as usual.

Maybe PBFs trick is to get people to change their way of fighting that made them succesful, and PBF just does what he always does. Which is to be boring and try not to get hit as much as he can.

Roach just got to make sure lands hard punches on PBFs face consistently. Not much more confusing than that really. And try not to get hit too much.

agreed the first few rounds are always quite dangerous for a counter puncher.....
