    Floyd approaches every fight differently....

    is this true or false? that every fight is different, every game plan is different depending on the opponent, once he gets in the ring with any opponent he studies them and fights accordingly...

    it's true and what's exciting about him is that he's an enigma and does things completely backwards to what you'd expect.


    For instance vs. Small JMM you'd expect he'd go gun blazing and make his presence known and try to destroy JMM instead he boxed cautious and UD'd him easily.

    Against monster Shane you'd think he'd do what he did against JMM instead he slugged with him and wobbled Shane all night

          once he gets in that square circle and studies his opponent, then he knows what style he has to fight to get the W in a good fashion. the man knows how to win...he adapts and adjusts after 1 or 2 rounds..i mean seriously he is a complete fighter and has every punch in his arsenal.

            floyd will use his reach effectively on pacquiao.

            whether its an inside fight or outside fight, floyd has the upper hand in both.

            man i want to see this fight already, seriously i think people will see the best mayweather ever because of counter punching..pacquiao will be open to a lot of counter punches,,,straight right hands...morales used a straight right hand to beat him, marquez used a straight right hand to beat pacquiao,

              well I wouldn't say that unless Freddie is throwing all his past comments/thoughts out the window. But in reality if you listen carefully to waht Roach has said in the past it's actually very wise and makes a Floyd fan worry.
              Roach sagaciously states how when he studies tapes of Floyd he's not looking for mistakes and doesn't care about mistakes because all fighters make mistakes and you can't count on those to win a fight. He looks for patterns, things that Floyd has been doing for his entire career, i.e. how he shifts his weight or how he positions himself in certain recurring situations, etc, things like that.

              So with that said I think Roach DOES expect to learn alot about Floyd's patterns from the past and I doubt he really means what he says about what he saw this past week.
              The truth is, it's just the style Floyd chose to fight in and you can't say he has no legs or he's shot unless you then go back as far back as the Mitchell fight and say Floyd was shot then because Floyd literally fought almost identical in the Mitchell fight as he did against Shane and I highly doubt that he was "shot" back then in his late 20's which is usually a fighter's prime.

                your signature's cool man,that's how Floyd will beat Pacquiao.

                People ask why Shane stopped throwing the jab,how could he throw one when he was being countered with the right.

                  Me too .... I think this fight he want take his foot off the gas.... Either he takes the risk and go for to KO or just flat out dominate him for the naysayers.....

                    Is amazing how Floyd talent has so far been understimate, this guy is a real ambassador of sweet science, he comes in and follow the fight plan.I think he will make pacquaio looks so untalented.If a guy of shanes calibre,a future hall of famer only had a half of round to make an impression, when he had ****im in his corner and Roach is only looking at that as basis of his student beating floyd i guess he needs to check his credentials well.

                    I believe Arum knows through his match maker that pacquiao wont win and for business sense he should be made to fight within his promotion to maximise profit, for a promoter thats what keeps him going.Do you think he cares about pac legacy,he cares only about money.. Else he would have made this fight happen, roach only sees things on a trainers point of view cos he trains guys around all promotional companies whereas Arun sees things from Top rank point of view...

                    Pac will loose.
