Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao in October or November, Says Roach

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Definitely. Except he is worlds better than Marquez at it. Worlds. Not to mention is a better inside fighter than Marquez and Pacquiao combined. Styles make fights. And you have to listen very, very carefully. What Roach is really saying is, "If Floyd fights Manny the same way he fought Shane last Saturday, then yada yada." Any other scenario and his words carry no weight.

Yeah the whole comment was flawed. Why would Floyd fight a huge 160 pound right hander the same way he'll fight a lefty.

Any guy who claims to know boxing. Pac fan or not should be picking Floyd anything else is just dumb.

No need for the leaping left hook until Pac is softened up. Jabs, straight rights, jabs downstairs, get inside. Repeat.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez II

tha's it right here
floyd is the bigger and more skilled boxer of the two
Manny will have to over come a whole lot to come out with the victory

Yes because it is impossible for Pac to beat Floyd. I am pretty sure crazier stuff has not happened before in boxing.

Manny only knows how to use his fists. Floyd will make him use his brain. Easy , easy win.

Pacquiao has only faced one man at the welterweight limit.

Pacquiao has defeated three men within the welterweight limit and one had to come down to a weight he hadn't fought at in nearly 9 years, another had to go to a catchweight, and the third was a legitimate contender in name recognition, but was ranked #7 by the WBO, and not in the top 10 for any other governing body.

No hate Horus but can't we say the same with Floyd? Before Shane, Floyd hadn't faced a WW since Baldomir in 06. Floyd made the best moves business wise, and I will never knock him for taking money fights with Hatton or Oscar, but for every argument (Pac not facing a true WW etc)...the same can be applied to Floyd (fighting Marquez and Hatton at 147)

like hasegawa getting laid out on his feet by montiel who was doing next to nothing for the first few rounds, in his own country mind you

Its not impossible but it is improbable.

I mean if we just going to make excuses, and downplay victories. The I am going to say that Floyd has never fought an elite WW yet. I can easily say that dumb **** and give examples why. If that is what we want to do.

My question to anyone is how is Manny going to land on Floyd?

He doesn't have a good jab to try and set anything else up, or at least feint with and consistently fool Floyd.

What from midrange will he hit Floyd with?
