    Every now and again, Roach tells it like it is.

      I kinda see it this way if Pacquiao doesn't ADJUST and STEP UP. BUT one thing that is dangerous is that if Pacquiao will catch Floyd flatfooted in the early round "before Floyd figure it out"...

      But one thing we can also be surprised is Pacquiao's adjustment. That remains to be seen.

      Meanwhile, Mayweather for a SD or UD unless Pacquiao would step it up and beat him. Doable I would say but that is why they fight in the ring, instead of argue outside the ring.

      And that goes for us too....we can dissect these in oh, so many ways but it could easily end in a punch or flurry of punches before either one sets up or it could be a boring or strategic fight that can go to distance favoring Floyd.

      This fight must happen.

          I think Manny will give problems with his speed and high work-rate. Throwing 100+ punches will get to anyone. But Floyd is the master at adjusting to opponents. First few rounds will go back and forth, Mayweather might lose 2. Then he will probably stick the razor blade right down the middle of his stomach come the 4-5 round and it will screw Pacquiao's rythm real bad. Pacquiao will start looking real sloppy when Floyd does it. It will be real subtle though, most people won't even realise what is happening. Then the last half of the fight 6-12... will be a boxing clinic from Mayweather.

          Manny won't throw 100 punches per round. Everybody's activity goes down v. FMJ.

          Besides, Manny was only that active because Clottey shelled up. And literally half the 1200 punches were that piddly jab.

          I was watching the fight, and wondering how the punch count was so high. It was that pawing jab.

                yes he will be the easiest fight, roach just want floyd to think that they will have a difficulty fighting him so that floyd will have some confidence to take the fight.

                  We don't even have to expose Pacquiao, his own trainer is doing it to himself.

                      Agree. Roach should just STFU.

                      Some golden quotes from Freddie:
                      "I lose my fighter for three days after taking a blood test."
                      "They could test all they want, I know my fighter is clean."
                      "I'd take the blood test."

                      God, Freddie just SHUT UP!
