Floyd doesnt need a trainer to strategize his fight, Manny does

[RightCross94]

Yes, Mayweather may be the smartest boxer today. But in the case of the upcoming Pacman/Mayweather match, his boxing "IQ" won't matter at all. Like I've said in the past, there has been way too much emphasis being placed on Floyd's victories over lesser opponents. When he faces the Pacman, Pretty Boy will encounter his toughest challenge ever. This won't be no Marquez, Gatti, De La Hoya, etc.,etc. cakewalk fight for him. You can bet that his team is pouring over videos of the Pacman's fights. Don't follow in his arrogance in believing that his upcoming fight will be easy. I won't be surprised to see him completely knocked out or beaten up by the Pacman. Pretty Boy is gonna get a reality check in the worst way. JAT

Oh ok then. Here I was thinking a boxers skills and intelligence was a pivotal factor in a fight, but ok, Lady fan who has been watching boxing since December 6 2008 has taught me better.

Notice how she can never actually explain how Manny will win this, just keep repeating "Pretty boy will get a reality check JAT" and then posting that ****** slideshow.

Pac and Roach will definitely have a plan to beat Floyd. That's how they win.....making use of their talents.

Yes, Mayweather does have a better boxing IQ than Manny.

Link please...

Floyd being an overly defensive fighter doesn't mean he is smarter. Pac can mimic Floyd's style anytime. He just like to empress the fans that's why he's more on offense. Pac can be a defensive genius to if he likes while Floyd can never an offensive fighter like Pac. And Filipinos are smarter than Blacks period.

Very sad. Just goes to show it's not about boxing with many Pinoy boxing fans. They can't talk boxing because they don't know boxing. They started watching when Pac came on scene, probably after the de la hoya fight. Racism is going to rear it's ugly head in full force for this fight. Can't wait til March 14 because all these racist, phony boxing fans will be gone.

Chups,

What is that plan?

* I know you said "will have"

Regarding Team Mayweather not watching tapes -- it's bull****.

Wake up.

Seriously. People here are really gullible.

I'm glad it only took two posts for someone to mention this.

Thats besides the point...

Does Manny have a higher boxing IQ then Mayweather.

i'm sure floyd can take care of himself and not worry about his uncle going to jail while he's training for the pac fight. heck, he'll most likely promote his cutman as his main cornerman against pac.

nobody replaces ellerbie as the masseur, though.

What makes the Pacquiao-Roach relationship special is that Freddie may be the best strategist among the trainers, and Pacquiao is the perfect weapon to execute his plan. If Freddie is a chess master, then having Pacquiao is like having all knights on the board, right down to the weird and unpredictable angles and different ways of taking out his opponent.

I believe Roger and Floyd do come up with a game plan for their opponents, but what makes Floyd special is his ability to adjust to his opponent on the fly. To continue the chess analogy, Floyd is like having a prodigy who has all the pieces on the board, knows how to use all his pieces, and never has to bring his queen out because he can win using his other pieces. Maybe not as exciting as a guy who has all knights, but he gets the job done either way.

They're both gifted fighters. As far as ring smarts go, it's a lot more fascinating to watch Floyd fight. He's a savant in the ring.

Floyd doesnt need Roger to come up with a gameplan so that Floyd can execute it. Manny however can not come up with a gameplan and needs Freddie's help. Does this mean Floyd's boxing IQ is better than Manny's?

isn't this how we got into Iraq? by not going in w/ a strategy?
