      That's why everyone is excited. The mere fact that two top P4P fighters in their prime will most definitely meet in the ring is already spectacular

      If this were chess, this would last an eternity

      But we will get 12 rounds. I'm fine with that.

          of course manny will have the gameplan

          floydie's already got this wall around him built. roach and manny are the ones going in and find if they can break that wall

          offense vs defence. if manny mimics floyd style and be on the defense then we might as well anticipate the biggest snoozefest of all time

            They don't make badass villains in westerns these days.

              Arent trainers supposed to help the fighters?If Roger doesnt give any help or advice on gameplan to Floyd, might as well fire him.It's like a basketball team with a playing coach.

                Perhaps, but that doesn't mean he'll beat him. Charles was a "smarter" fighter than Marciano, doesn't mean he won. Ali was a "smarter" fighter than Frazier, doesn't mean he won the first fight.

                As an over-educated professional I value intelligence and knowledge but strength of will counts as well. It counts in the business world and it certainly counts in the boxing world. What counts in a Pac-Mayweather match-up is much more than simply who is a greater ring strategist.

                Pac having Roach in his corner may simply equal out Mayweather's greatest strength.

                    no gripes from me with what you have said above. That is why they fight the fights. I'm looking forward to it.

                      Without Freddie Roach...Manny Pacquiao is nothing.....Mayweather doesn't need someone to study hours, hours and hours of tapes to break someone down.....Mayweather can adjust to any style....MAyweather Boxing IQ > Manny
