Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather is Slowing Down, More Hittable Now

[Carpe Diem]

Manny is controlling the footwork, he has the faster feet. Manny will control the range and the fight.

When Floyd throws, when any fighter throws they are open.

Floyd is well conditioned but Manny will take him out of his comfort zone and make him fight at a pace he is not use to.

Can't see how Floyd wins this one.

. Let me ask you this, between Floyd and Manny. Who has the better balance? Who has shown to be in proper defensive positioning stance after they throw? @ Manny controlling the range.

Now compare the Hatton, Mosley and De La Hoya fights.

Haha, you mean against hatton that tried to come in for the KO, hence jumping in and leaving himself open for every second of both rounds? Mosley, who mayweather thoroughly dominated and couldn't even beat mora (then pacquiao's team decided it was the right time for this fight), and a drained de la hoya that needed IV's to rehydrate???

How is it that Pac could struggle life and death with marquez TWICE and Floyd toys with him, and yet Pac could easily destroy Floyd??

Roach is just stating the obvious, but in fairness he called it first back after the Mosley fight.

cherry picking is when you select the right opponent here and there.. however, Pacquiao fought every top 5 welterweight at the time that wasn't himself or Mayweather. Mosley (Avoided after Margarito in 09. Beat up by Floyd. Ugly draw with Mora), Cotto (Beat down by Margarito. Struggle with Clottey. Big gash on head. Catchweight for title), Margarito (Suspended 1 year for cheating. Fought mediocre opponent and looked not good doing it. Fought Pac at catchweight for vacant title), and Clottey (Lost to Cotto who Pac beat prior).. so how is that cherry picking?

Looks like cherry picking to me son.

Yep.
He is merely stating the obvious. He is definitely more hittable as Ortiz cannot be considered a fast fighter.

this all talk from frauddy roach. he's promoting the pac vs jmm fight. mayweather does things in the ring to make you think one way and he'll change up the other way.styles make fights and you have to make adjustments by doing things different against different styles.

Floyd is slowing down and Roach is STILL overrated...whats new?!?

[Kuyukut]

All *****s can do is speculate but the only thing that matters is for Floyd to man up and fight Pacquiao. You can type anything you want the Floyd is good he's unbeatable but let's figure out first why is Floyd too scared? What's the problem Floyd when are you gonna have the balls to fight the midget?
