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

[damned1974]

Okay, here is a short synopsis: In the beginning of this fight, Floyd will be avoiding to his best abilities, the Pacman's aggressive engagement to fight. Pretty Boy's reluctance to engage Manny will result in "Boo's" coming from the spectators. As more and more boxing fans get disillusioned in Floyd's lack-luster performance, the Pacman steps up his game by "pot-shotting" Pretty Boy. As this progresses into the mid rounds, Mayweather is slowly but surely losing faith in his ability to thwart the fistic bombardments being inflicted on him.

In one of the rounds, the Pacman catches him with a right-hook to the temple forcing Floyd down onto the canvas. Only seconds remain in that round and Pretty Boy is saved by the bell. In the following round, the Pacman continues his ferocious attack on Mayweather forcing another knockdown. Floyd is now dazed and weak from the Pacman onslaught. Roger Mayweather is contemplating throwing in the towel but won't let his pride be vanquished. He allows the Pretty Boy to continue.

At around the 9th round, the Pacman takes his carefully orchestrated fight plan to the limits as he progressively "Breaks Down" Mayweather's will to continue in this fight. Blow after blow, Floyd is pounded against the ropes. His "Shoulder Roll" maneuver isn't fending off any of the Pacman's brutal assaults. As the end of the round approaches, Mayweather is caught off guard and is hit in the jaw by a "Bone-crushing" left hook which shudders him to the canvas for the final time.

The referee calls a quick halt to the fight and summons help from Mayweather's corner and the doctors at ringside. The Pacman goes to his corner and prays that Mayweather will be okay and not seriously hurt.

Ring Announcer Michael Buffer announces the Pacman as the winner by Knockout.

Are you speaking this drivel with a straight face,because that is the most biased form of verbal ************ I have seen.
I think what you are missing is that-Floyd will counter Manny coming in and out with a right hand then a left hook,use Manny's offense against him and time him all night long.
Honestly-when have you seen Manny "pot-shot" anyone-lol.He is not effective when his opponents are moving away or are defensive.Also,Manny is ineffective when he backs up as well.I actually see Mayweather being able to be the aggressor easier than Manny being able to be "pot-shotting" him. I believe Floyd's power is also being underestimated in this fight.I will not be surprised to see Floyd finishing Manny with a big statement...

Thanks. Your opinion is appreciated. We'll find out in March if Pretty Boy is truly capable of handling the "Greatest Boxer of this Era."

The real irony is that your "synopsis" is making it out like Mayweather will not hit Manny.Be realistic-even Freddie Roach believes its a tougher fight than Oscar,Cotto, and Hatton,yet you (as a Pacquiao FAN) seem to think its a walk in the park for Manny.
In this fight,Mayweather has more options than Pacquiao. He can stay back,be defensive and counter to frustrate Manny or if Manny tries to "box",then he gets outpointed. Manny is going against the most pure boxer there is at the moment-if your "synopsis" only mentions a stoppage or ko for Manny,how do you think he will fare if he cannot ko him? Do you honestly think Manny can outbox Floyd-you must be watching a different fighter than me.Manny is great,but his last 4 fights have been so over-estimated and chumps like you better have a brace for your jaws when they drop after Floyd takes this.

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

Yes, it's really smart to run away from danger.

So, is the thread starter implying that Roger is merely a padman, hmm ?

Roger and Floyd Sr. are overrated. They're just padmen. Useless as trainers basically. No wonder nobody significant is getting their services.

C'mon guy, do you actually think I would write a scenario that is negative to what I actually believe would happen? Of course Floyd will get his "licks" in on the Pacman. That's a given. What I'm trying to convey to you Mayweather "Diehards" is that the Pacman is being highly, highly, highly and grossly underestimated by all of you due to your total praise of Floyd's "Untouchable" defensive abilities and craftiness in the ring. It's getting totally boring to see people constantly "Towing-the-Mayweather-company-line." I firmly believe that Pretty Boy has finally met his match in the Pacman and will be receiving his first career loss at the hands of the Planet's number 1 Pound-4-Pound fighter. JAT

The funny thing is,I do believe you think this scenario to be true.Where is Manny a HEAVY underdog who is underestimated-seriously? Most bookies have Floyd only slightly a favourite.
By the way-I am not a diehard fan of any fighter.I do not carry an obsessed fan mentality like some people do-(example-some people are fans of a fighter because of similar nationality-is that a logical way to measure skill???). I am a fan of the sport and can see that people are overestimating Pacquiao based on his last 4 wins- all wins that I have told people Pacquiao would win.
Now to respond to you believing Mayweather's defense is over-rated,I would like to ask you,when has anyone been successful in ko'ing Mayweather when his defense is up? Your speech is essentially dictating Manny to have a lucky puncher's chance in this fight,when you need to recognize that there is indeed a chance that he may not be able to even hurt Floyd if he connects.I am not convinced Manny can get a ko against people at a heavier weight-lets face it-he punished a severely weight drained Oscar,yet couldn't ko him-he retired on his stool.He punished Cotto at a catch weight,but could not ko him-the fight I feel wasn't justified for a stoppage at that round of the fight.
You may want to think how Manny will handle a punch from Floyd.The reality is,Floyd does have very fast hands and accurate as well.In fact,his power is very under-rated by Pacquiao fans.
All in all,Floyd has too many advantages in this fight-he is a right-handed counter puncher with excellent timing,one of the best defenses today (not just a shoulder roll as you imply),excellent speed and is very adaptable.Manny will not shine against these type of fighters like he has his last 4 fighters-they were at a disadvantage style-wise and gave up weight.Even Freddie Roach says the Mayweather fight will be a different fight,and tougher than his previous 4. It's funny to hear you actually believe this will be easy, in fact if you believe it to not be competitive-would you actually watch it???

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?

yea but it shows to. Manny usually ends up dominating from round 1, or in the last case, round 2. Floyd frequently runs into trouble in his fights but has had to overcome it.
