Comments Thread For: Roach: "Mayweather is No Hatton, Cotto or Oscar"

[Cash Cow]

Trainer Freddie Roach doesn't see Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the same light as Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya or Miguel Cotto. He was very confident of Pacquiao's success against those fighters. Roach is still very confident that Pacquiao can beat Mayweather on March 13 - but he says Mayweather is a much tougher opponent than any of the last three, and it won't be a simple task to knock him out.

Come on, give Manny more credit than that. He is not a punching bag. I guess I kind of see it like Floyd-Corrales (another fight *******s probably never seen).

In what way does Pacquiao resemble Corrales?

PS: I thought everyone and their mother had seen that fight.

This fight is not Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather. It is Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach vs. Floyd Mayweather. Roach knows this and Manny knows this. He is going to study tons of film on Mayweather and teach him how to handle his style. Then, all Manny will have to do is execute the gameplan. It will be a team effort and that is why I give them at least a 50% chance of winning. Mayweather will not be doing anything different and his trainer will not teach him anything new. I have full faith in Freddie Roach here and I think he will deserve much of the credit if Manny pulls this off. Yes he sometimes talks too much, but maybe it's because he knows his fighter will say little to nothing to hype this fight so he's trying to help the promotion.

huh>?

Mayweather NEVER fights the same way in any of his fights. he adjust's to each fight...I cant say the same for Manny

Not style wise. Sorry I didn't specify. I'm talking about Manny's aggression and possible frustration with "chasing" Mayweather will play into Floyd's counter-punching style. I think chasing a counter-puncher is bad strategy.

fact is, people WORLDWIDE, not just pac haters voted pac as the 2nd greatest boxer.

I respect that, so If Manny is the 2nd best of all time and Manny Pacquiao loses to Mayweather.......what will you have to say about that?

[Cash Cow]

he already did......when oscar got roach for his corner, what was roach's role ?
to study mayweather, he did...but dlh fail to execute with the jab;
pacman is faster and awkward for anyone, idk about the jab......

failed to execute the jab?...man he threw more jabs after the 6th round than he did before the 6th round....fact is Mayweather timed his jab and took it away....

Jr's defensive move ain't gonna help him elude Manny's punches and it doesn't really matter where he tuck his chin because midget is a 2 fisted powerhouse boxer. Jr. is quick but only when he is fighting slow boxers. Midget can move his head side to side hunting opponent which will very difficult for Jr. to target. Jr will never engage midget toe to toe, so what he'll do is use the same move he did with JMM..the probelm is midget ain't Pac.
How to beat Jr.? stay close to him and rough him up and sneak in those right and left hook.
How to beat Pac? At the bell, rough him up and overwhelm him with punches and go for the KO or win the 1st 4 rds and pretend you got injured.

Fearless forecast.. Jr. will run and score points but he will definetely get hit and when he does he will be in trouble.

cool story bro.

What Roach meant was Hatton,Cotto,And even that ***** Oscar has balls.They don't run.
Floyd has a vagina and he runs, which that makes it harder for Pac to Knock him out.

yeah thats exactly what he meant....because everyone knows...ur only a real boxer if you stand in front of your opponent and you let him hit you....

Roach is bluffing, playing the nice guy.
