    Actually, in case you didn't notice, Floyd generally fights guys who are coming off their biggest wins. He also fights oppoenents who are lineal champions.
    Judah and Corley were coming off losses.....

          Of course many of you will respond that I am discrediting Pac but this is about Roach and his opponent selection methods. Its pretty apparent he tends to only choose opponents who have a known weakness that he can exploit.

          In the case of Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, we have 1 guy who simply isn't that good, another who has never won the big one and long past his days as a welterweight, another who only covers up and doesn't throw punches, and another who was bashed with Plaster.

          Though you can say I'm being a revisionist that would be incorrect, this is what the boxing world felt about each opponent before the fight. With that said, I give Pac complete credit for taking advantage of those specific weaknesses in the fight. Afterall his opponents know they have these weaknesses to so they should of done something about it.

          In the case of Amir Khan, not sure if Roach trained him for MAB, but I'll cite MAB and Paulie, 1 guy completely past his prime and needs to retire, and the other a feather puncher. Come fight night thats exactly what we saw, feather punching and an old man. Much props to Khan for taking advantage of those weaknesses.

          What I would like to see is for Freddie Roach to 1 day, if he has the courage, select an opponent who hasn't been exploited or shown to have major weaknesses. The good thing is that there are 3 out there right now, Bradley, Alexander, and Mayweather. Will Roach wait till they go life and death in the ring or will he put his fighters in there with them while they are dominant? Well see.

            brilliant introspection, clearly made for the purpose of actual discussion and (despite Roach has been calling out Mayweather for 1,000 years) clearly in no way a thread to bait meaningless arguing.
