ROACH: "Mayweather has no more lateral movement"

[AlwaysOnTop]

and Ortiz..., face it, his mobility is gone.

The only thing fast about Mayweather any more are his hands but Cotto has great timing to neutralise speed, so it may not be enough.

You're wishing upon a star...grasping at mirages..

A fighter with no legs can't do what he does...and I think you know it...

Don't change your tune after May 5th....when Floyd foils your dreams once again...

Roach is talking about Mayweather's legs yet Pac has used the cramps in his legs excuse how many times now???? lol

Twice. Three times if the count the upcoming a.ss whipping he is going to take from Timothy Bradley on June 9.

His lateral movement is fine. Its all about strategy. If he wanted to run around the ring like a fairy the way he did against Baldomir, he'd could still do it.

Take a look at Baldomir's face after that fight...watching a guy run doesn't do that to you..

Baldomir had Vernon Forrest "running" in the later rounds..

He's one tough guy that throws sneaky punches down the pipe from both sides..as well as looping punches..

Baldomir gets a bad rap.....but if you stand in front of him you're going to have serious problems..

He's not a guy you can fight in the pocket....you gotta' keep him turning at all times..

I remember about three fights Floyd moved a bunch in JLC II, Baldomir and Oscar. In JLC II he was clearly going to where he had the advantage at in the first fight, against Baldomir he put it on him in the first half then hurt his hand and or realized he was never getting Baldomir out of there so just played it safe, against Oscar he played it safe as Oscar was known for killing lighter dudes with his power.

There were reasons he moved in each of those fight those rasons don't always come up, 3 fight out of 42 or 1/14th so looking for Floyd to really move in any one fight or even series of fights and basing that opinion off that is kind of odd considering how rare it really is that he moves a ton.

The difference betwqeen Floyd and most guys who move is that Floyd is efficent with his motion and really doesn't take 5 steps if he only has to take 2, I guess that can lead to the appearence of a lack of movement but if you are actually watching what effect his movement has it seem pretty effective still.

Bradley is gonna fight like a typical Top Rank employee...just like Clottey and Mosely..

Clottey thru 11 punches and made Pac look like he stopped a 747 with his face..

Shane didn't even dig to Pac's body.....despite AMPLE OPPORTUNITY to do so..

Looked rigged...it's old as boxing itself...if nothing was done to stop it in the past you best believe it still happens..

Boxing is dirtier now than it's ever been..

good ****

these guys give too much volume to high movement and volume

meanwhile textbook boxers are economical and efficient. just look at Joe Louis

Yup. Khan's lateral "movement" didn't help him much against Peterson...

Roach clearly has no shame.
