    Does he have enought time to teach Manny this? And what type of traps do you see Mayweather falling for? Manny is great at what he does, but I wouldn't call him a smart figther. He's a machine. Can he become a thinking man in such short time??
    If Roach and Manny's strategy is to try to out-think Floyd Mayweather, then they are going to have big problems. I agree with you. Manny has one gear, Floyd can fight a million different ways.

      Remember early 2008 this fight was just a joke and not even close to being talked about not even hypothetically. Now Pacquiao is favored to beat Mayweather according to the betting odds in Vegas.
      I'd love for Mayweather to be the underdog. Last time that happened, we all saw Floyd vs. Corrales.

        I hope Floyd treats Pac like he did Corrales.

                    no, floyd wouldn't fall for that particular combo, but floyd will flinch to every feint and jab... but the principle is still there....

                    give floyd a look so he thinks he has an opening, then counter w/ the right KTFO punch.

                      Thats wat you guys are missing he won't be in range for that punch no matter which one he uses. you give him a look he'll capitalize and be out of there. yall act like pac has ever shown reflexes like that. Not to mention when floyd flinches he doesn't close his eyes like hatton did in that sequence. the guy is just built for this **** you can't teach a guy to better at counter punching than one of the best ever at counter punching... do yall really believe that? the only way I would've said pac could beat floyd was if floyd's skills and sharpness diminished and even though that wasn't a fight to write home about it showed that he was still the same floyd in the ring.
