    Roach won't have any problems sending Pac in the ring against Floyd.
    Why would he?

    The manner of the outcome of a fight between Floyd and Pac will be down to how much of a beating Pac can withstand, because maintaining a high punch output will be his only chance of winning the fight.
    I will be more than a little surprised if Manny is able to throw much more than Mosley and De La Hoya was able to.
    And if he does, he's gonna need a world-class chin.

      roach is gonna have to reformulate a new plan. nobody expected floyd to be stronger than mosley. also, steve forbes sparred w pac and probably gave floyd inside info on pac. roach is gonna have to come up with new combos to work on and a new gameplan.

        This can't be overlooked.

          And if he does, he's gonna need a world-class chin.

          And some insane stamina. hence the avoidance of the osts.

          giving blood weakening him has been debunked again. he gave during clottey and the dumb pacq fans herald that as he was clean. but didnt know that it wasnt a ped test but just for hiv and hep or any other diseases. after that blood draining he went str8 bak to training. unlike losing him for 3-4 days.

          Pacq can only win by workrate in which he needs better stamina. How will he get that at this level of his career?

            i think its the perfect time. it showed mayweather can be hurt, and that his defence is penetrable. i think u need a fighter that can fight hard for every minute of every round against floyd. u need to give him a tempo that will make him uncompfortable, and that is what pac can do. floyd showed heart though to come back and i give him respect for that but i cant really give him full credit because of the lack of fight in his opponent.

              I think it'll be mixed emotions after saturday night. On one hand, Mayweather was rocked and vulnerable for the 1st time in his career, he was literally a few punches away from being KO'd. There's no way Pacquaio would've let Mayweather escape as easily as Mosley did.

              On the other hand though, Mayweather was excellent from the 3rd round on. Mosley didnt get a sniff, and you could tell he knew he was beaten. Those fast jabs broke Mosley's spirit.

              I think Roach will fancy it a little bit more now. Mayweather was very good, but Mosley was out of gas and out of ideas after 4 rounds, he showed his age, and at that stage Pacquiao will only be getting warmed up.

                Firstly Roach doesnt make decisions,he's not even in contact wit Pacquiao neither does he have Pacquiao's number.

                The second thing is Roach will always talk up his fighter even if he knows the fighter has no chance

                  Pac wont take the test cause he need that EPO, this dude's fear of getting caught by USADA is obvious.
