-------------------

Adriel (L.A.): Freddie after seeing Mayweather easily beat Mosley did he show you anything in that fight that can pose a problem to Pacquiao?

Freddie Roach (11:17 AM): No, Mayweather was hittable in the fight. I don't worry about Mayweather versus Pac. If Pacquaio hits Mayweather, he will finish him unlike Mosley.

wait..Mosley lands 2 right hands in one round of a 12 round fight, and now Mayweather is hittable?

What about the 150 right hands Mayweather landed on Shane?

Was Floyd really trying to be defensive in the opening rounds, though? He even attacked Mosley in round 1 after he went down. That's unheard of when it comes to Floyd. He didn't even do that against JMM.

And Pac's short arms would not be able to land those two right hands Mosley landed. Floyd also wouldn't stand in front of Pac like that. Pac would need to find another way to hurt Floyd. If Roach thinks he can use the Mosley fight as a blueprint, then he's in for a surprise.

this is what everyone should ask themselves

Exactly. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding how people can be so ******.

If Mayweather was hittable against Shane, then Pacquiao is a goddamn walking punching bag.

Shanes not the first person to hit Floyd clean and catch an ass whooping afterwards..

hmmmm

Mosley landed 13 power shots in round two- then just 29 the rest of the fight.

hmm 29/11 or 2.6 power shots per round landed

men lie
women lie
numbers

dont

nowhere near as hittable as pac was against Clottey.
Pac looked like the loser in that fight
wheras Floyd threw a party the day after the fight and pictured showed not one scrach on Floyds face

Pac AFTER the Clottey fight

Floyd always does that. And almost always in round two. Been that way throughout the latter part of his career. You'll see him sorta stand still and brace himself for the impact - he wants to test his opponent's power. Almost cost him on May 1.

Do agree he was really rocked by it with shaky legs by a couple of seconds...still he recovered too fast and defended well for SSM to take advantage, SSM is agreat finisher just watch his record and he couldn't do it...

Roach is reaching big-time! When seven opponents can only manage to land 17% of their punches on you, you ain't that hittable at all. Having to throw five punches in the hope of landing one of them is going to tire you out quick, especially when you're paid back with double the punches or more. Keep the pep talks coming, I have a feeling Manny's going to need them.

Exactly! Mosley left the ring having just landed 20% of the punches he threw for an entire 12 round fight. Maybe Roach needs to ask Shane just how hittable Floyd is.
