Comments Thread For: Roach Says: 'Mayweather Doesn't Have His Legs Anymore'

nothign to hide take the test simple sonson i love when people in the world talk about **** they know nothing about

I love how you forget these are "Gayweather's mandated" tests.. that no other fighter in the history of boxing had ever been subjected to take... If Mosley accepted that's because he's an ass and follows the orders of his boss Oscar with whom Gayweather has a partership as well..

If Manny gets a hold of Gayweather, Manny will finish him off...

Remember Tarver-Roy Jones??? That's what will happen!!

Mosley got older gasping air on the fight because Floyd always put his forearm on Mosley's neck. Mosley got stiff neck from blood drawn from him near fight night. Floyd has no power punch in WW so he dont mind the blood test. Floyd really knows how to get fight advantage

LOL stiff neck from the blood test LMFAO!!!! Man the excuses get better I thgought I heard it all until now lol...do you have proof?

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

what did floyd do exactly to take it away?

floyd was masterful, but lets be honest, shane stopped throwing....

point blank.

shane couldnt pull the trigger after round 2. was gasping for air with his mouth wide open.

when you are 3 feet away from your opponent you can obviously see and feel your opponent is gassed and apply your aggression from there.

i though maybe shane hurt that right hand after that seeing as he rarely threw it much after that.

when have you ever seen an elite athlete gas out so bad after 3 rounds???

hopkins is 45 and had more stamina than that.

mosley is physically done and should retire, or move up to 154, because 147 is not functionally possible for him anymore.

like i said, floyd dominated, was excellent, but when have you ever seen mosley or any elite athlete that tired and done so early in a fight?

there is a reason for it, it wasnt because floyd took his punches away in round 3, if by round 9 he stopped throwing i would agree with you

Amay. The short answer to your question is the stiff left jab. That is what Floyd primarily used to negate the over hand right of Shane's. It made Shane have to reset, plus Floyd was dropping a right behind it from time to time to make Shane leary of the 1-2 combo.

wtf!

what ever freddie roach is smoking please say no....this dude need to stfu. mayweather employed the perfect game plan and made the perfect adjustment to beat shane. how would he have his legs in the marques fight and then dont have them in the sm fight?

Shane exposed Floyd last saturday fight. Team Mayweather know this. And as i want like any other fans that Pacquiao-Mayweather happens. Floyd might chicken-out again on this by pressuring Team Pac for that ******ed test.

I've heard it all now.

I want to respond to this article and make a few statements. First, of course Mayweather's legs are not the same as they were at this higher weight. That's to be expected. But if you look at his last few fights (Baldomir, Hatton, De La Hoya, Marquez & Judah), Mayweather selects when to use his legs and when not to. Its apart of his ring IQ. Mayweather didn't use his legs at all against Judah and at that point he was 29 but came right back and used a lot of movement against Hatton at age 30 so the whole notion that his legs are gone because he didn't use them against Mosley is a moot point to me.
Also, I have noticed from reading blogs on websites that the sentiment among boxing fans has changed from earlier in the year. I am seeing less and less support for Pacquiao refusing drug testing. I think boxing fans are becoming acutely aware that there is no good reason not to have the best testing available not matter the reason why you are being asked to take drug test. I have stayed away from the whole PEDs thing but I feel inclined to address it.
First of all I always found it hard to believe that Manny was on anything but after the last few months my mind has slowly changed. It changed after the different reasons Pac gave for not wanting to take. His reasons ranged from fear of needles, to the blood drawn will make him week. He even suggested recently that the testing will have a different effect on Mayweather since he is bigger. My problem is why doesn't all these things effect the Olympic competitors who have to go through the same testing?
Surely these guys don't have to have 24 days to recover from testing and knowing that I've had my blood taken and played in a single elimination tournament in one day (4 hard bball games) and I had no ill effects from it.
Lets look at the facts here Pac-Man has put on approximately 17 lbs (13%) of pure muscle in 2 years. During this time he has maintained his speed, stamina and seemly has increased power. Since moving up in his last 5 fights Pacquiao has stopped ALL but one opponent (80%). In his 5 fights before moving up he went the distance with 3 out of the 5 guys. Now lets look at other guys who have moved up in weight and compare. I'd like to look at Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather, Diego Corrales. All three men were very hard punchers in the lower weight division and I'd say that Diego Corrales was considered a murderous puncher at 130. Each guy had knock out ratios above 70% at the lower weight. Shane moves up and in his last 14 fights his knock out ratio is 21%. Floyd has had 2 knock outs in his last 8 fights (25%) and the one fight Chico had at 147 he looked slow, soft and had no power against Clottey. So these guys moved up and KO percentage significantly fell off but Pac-Man moves up and his knockout rate increases? I don't know for sure if Pac is on anything but like the old saying if there is smoke then there is fire!

Beautiful post!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts potna.

Roach has CORRECTLY called and noticed THE biggest flaws of ALL Manny's last 4 or 5 opponents....the man is 100% with his assumptions....I think Floyd will beat on Manny until Roach waves the flag....but, I won't be suprised at all if Manny cracks him early and dusts him off like NO man has EVER done before.....real talk!!....Floyd fans should fear Roach and Manny....just sayin!!

[FightTalent]

It's really sad when men (I use that word loosely) talk like females. The same **** ya'll talking now about why Floyd won't beat Pac, is the same **** U all were talking a Week ago about why he won't beat Shane.
Just admit it U don't like his image when promoting his fights, but give the Man his Just due when it comes to BOXING!!!

Stop hate'n like Bitchs.
This forum sometimes I think shouldn't be Boxing Scene it should be Bad Girlz Boxing opinions Because of **** like what I've been reading lately.

Agreed - they continue to find something to hate about instead of being mature enough to give credit when its due. Then they suck Manny's anus and defend him as if they are blood relatives, geez.

I agree with everything Freddie Roach said. Watching Floyd since 96 from 2 years ago i did see his reflexes were a little slower. I told everybody that in my house for the fight. If Pacquiao hurts Mayweather he'll finish him but thats a BIG "IF". I still think Mayweather beats Pacquiao
