in a recent interview with 790thezone, freddie roach said he saw the fight, and thought it was a great fight, however mayweather "legs are gone",
and he is a "pedestrain" at welterweight.

noteable quotes
"if pacquiao catches him he will finish him."

" his style now is very good for the fans because he didnt run and he came to fight."

"i will probably get into a fight with roger, because he is so disrespectful,"

"mayweather is going to talk trash, and manny will say god will decide."

"i predict roger will be jail, for hitting the girl, but i am not a girl and he will have a tougher time with me."

"we will knock mayweather out."


he also says he spoke with bob arum, and bob arum told him that he is on his way to the philp. To talk to manny about accepting the fight with mayweather.



What do you guys think about this?

wow! Thanks a lot for this! This is first i've heard or seen this!

seems like hes more concerned with rodger than floyd..lol they are already in his head

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.

Is not DUMB to think Pac could beat Floyd. From 140-147 Pac has the best chance to beat Floyd. I have been saying that for months now. Everybody was saying Shane but I always gave Pac the better chance.

You could know boxing and still pick Pac. There is nothing dumb about that prediction. It would be only idiotic if something thinks Pac will have an easy time or will dominate Floyd.

But, there is nothing wrong or dumb for somebody to predict a Pac victory. Fact is we will never know unless they fight.

If Pac decisions Mayweather, I am not talking about a lucky KO punch, I am talking about a decision where Pac edges a close one out. Will not be the craziest thing that has happened in the sport. And, would not be the biggest upset either.

There is alot that has to be taken into account.

Me,

I'm more worried about Pacquiao's right hook. That punch of his has improved alot, and what I found so fascinating about that punch, is that Pacquiao can generate so much power with it; with very little leverage too. He dropped Cotto and Hatton with it. Although Mayweather's defense is great, he's most vulnerable to that punch. And NO! I didn't come to that conclusion after watching Mayweather Mosley, I've been said this for the longest (I can bump old threads). Corley landed it, as did Sosa, Jesus Chavez and recently Mosley.

Although Pacquiao is 5'6 1/2, that would be beneficial against Mayweather. As soon as Mayweather gets in close, Mayweather won't have full view of Pacquiao's punches. Jesus Chavez landed alot of punches that came from under and Chavez is 5'5. Chavez found some success in landing the right hook, Pacquiao could very well find the same success. It all depends on Mayweather's approach.

Walk Pacquiao down - You neutralize Pacquiao's left straight by not allowing Pacquiao to get any leverage. But then you have to deal with Pacquiao's combination punching, right hook and uppercuts.

Box - Look at Pacquiao vs. Cotto. Look at the late rounds, Pacquiao was frustrated with Cotto's movement and opt to stand in the middle of the ring and taunt Cotto to come in. His offense looked ordinary. In fact, Pacquiao looked ordinary PERIOD. You avoid Pacquiao's combination punching, right hook. I believe this is the much easier approach.

What I'd do is box for 6 to 7 rounds and then walk Pacquiao down. Then again Mayweather does surprise me alot. I honestly don't know how much of a chance I give Floyd.

Anybody see Cotto-Pac the first round. When Cotto jabbed and boxed and Manny looked like a lost puppy?

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

I agree with your response. The thing is Manny has only been at WW for 5 months. How many WW could he have possible fought in that time frame? If anything Cotto at 145 was a test to see if he could even compete at WW (After Cotto fight they realized Manny was capable of going against anyone at WW).

[Uturn]

Roach has had enough by the looks of it. He's going to let Pacquiao go to war with Mayweather, wohoo cant wait.
