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

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

Honestly guys like Morales and Pacquiao never get gun shy. If there was ever a boxer who would keep letting his hands go...it's Manny. Pac isn't judah, Mosley or any of Floyd's past opponents that when things aren't going there way they fold up. Go rewatch Morales vs Pac 1 and you will see that.

Floyd's boxing skill and Morales arent really even close. Its not that they choose to stop throwing. Floyd gives them no choice with his power, speed, accuracy, feints and counters. You are basically knocked out you're just still standing. I been trying to explain this to everyone. Everybody is saying Shane didnt do anything. He couldnt because took every weapon away from him.

this thread is great

i guess u have flaws now when u pitch a 11 round shutout




how can u gameplan for somebody that can change his style at any given time

mayweather came ford and was the agressor because mosley didnt think that would be the case

u people must take floyd for a fool

lol at manny finishing floyd when he couldnt even finish cotto when he was hurt or marquez, did he even hit clottey?????

He's also never fought a slick black american boxer so theres really no way to compare,when frustration sets in he will crumble like the rest.

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)

1. Floyd hadn't faced a WW since Baldomir in 06.
Retired from Dec 07-September 09

Floyd has only been active in the Welterweight Division For 32 Months
or in better words, 2 and half years.

In those 2 and Half years as a welterweight.
He became the Lineal Welterweight Champion x2
He became the Ring Champion Welterweight Champion
He went 6-0(2ko) in welterweight fights

No hate, Just facts

the door to KO Floyd is only open for the first 3 or 4 rounds.....after that it's "The Money May Show"....no difference with Manny....man I like the lil' dude but Floyd is gonna give him a beatin'....the first few rounds should be classic....then again they COULD be historic...feel me?!?

Floyd didnt retire. Was just hiding from Margarito for two years...

And oh, no hate, just truth..

I didnt say that. I said if you KNOW boxing you SHOULD be picking Floyd.

Im not talking about a shot in the dark. Im talking about a logical fight breakdown and prediction. You are picking Floyd so you're good to go.

Why is that? I think you didn't fully grasp what jrose was saying.

If anything Hasa should have UD Montiel esp. since he got outboxed by an end of the road Mark Johnson and Z gorres was giving him fits. Hasa is a better boxer than both, so according that theory it should have been an easy night for Hasa right?

Freddie and Roger both come out with their hands up, Roger throws a 1-2, Freddie does the Parkinson shake and accidentally bumps into Rogers chin. Freddie Roach by KO in the first round.

Difference is though. Floyds right hand will find Mannys face and snap his head back from the opening bell. Manny has no defense for it at all.

If you watched the fight it was an easy night until his jaw was broken. Like I told El Jesus the gap between Montiel and Hasegawa isnt as wide as the gap in talent and skill with Floyd and Pac.
