Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Has To Be Perfect To Beat Mayweather

[Bep3373]

so pac pays arum instead?

He has a name he has power...he's the commodity ...arum
Works for him...if PAC had common sense he would take control Marquez did it and cotto did it ...PAC 2nd biggest over why not him

The more aggressive, the more openings for Floyd to shred him. Chino and Oscar got away with being "mean" because they were physically bigger, Manny cannot push Floyd around. Only shot i give Manny is to stay composed and try to land a hard left. That's it, a punchers chance is all he has. He can't out box or out think Floyd and roach knows this. But if he tries to jump on him and tries to execute that tired 'blueprint' of being overly aggressive, he opens himself as target practice since he doesn't have the strength to impose his will.

This statement here makes me sick!!!! The reason 99% of people want to see may vs. pac is not so pac can out jab out box, get lucky none of that ****, we want to see the aggressive pac vs the defensive may!!!!

That's it!!! If pac loses then he loses **** em, but I don't wanna see a ***** ass pac wanting to " box" no way. Bring it all down in mayweather, all of it, if he's better than you then he will adjust and beat you, if he's not, you will stop him , or make him ball up enough of te fight to win on points..

That's it. Happy new year btw

As reality of the super-fight draws nearer, reality sets in Freddy the roach. Excuses are beginning to rain before the bell rangs Floyd will once again reign.
Believe me, Roach knows it, Arum knows it, and I betcha Pac know it too.

Not really, even a 75% Pacquiao outworks him easily. floyd is not that good. Put cement footed brawlers in front of me and I would be undefeated.

You got no idea , Manny will not out work him on the the contrary you will see Floyd box his ears off and shut Mannys work rate to his lowest in his career .

Put a smaller fighter in front of Floyd and you will see a shutout , Manny has a punchers chance thats all .

Amen! You have to also realize tho when mayweather starts to get in trouble he normally lets his hands go. So i could see pacquiao bringing the best out of mayweather. Also i want to see how floyd reacts to getting knocked down. I think Manny will knock him down, however end up losing on the scorecards in an epicly great fight between two ATG fighters.

Manny Pacquiao has to fight the perfect fight inorder to win which we know he can't to beat Mayweather. Yet in Pac's fan Universe Floyd is afraid of Pacquiao. That game plan has been tried and failed Roach.

[HarvardBlue]

I'm surprised Roach isn't already predicting a KO by the 4th as usual. "Has to be perfect" means we don't have prayer in Roach talk.

If Pacquiao can't hurt Mayweather it's a wrap. If Mayweather can't slow Pacquiao down he's in for a long night. I think the bigger Mayweather will frustrate Pacquiao early on and then find his rhythm in the later rounds for a decision win.

[GRUSTLER]

Lol everything you just said is untrue. His best punch is the double jab followed by a straight left, which he starts from long range, comes in while pumping his jabs and then throws his straight left and spins the opponent around before they have a chance to do anything. And he doesn't cut the ring off? Watch the.algieri fight to see how good he does against runners. I suspect it will be the same against Floyd except maybe somewhat closer due to judges bias towards duckweather that they always have. But if Manny does his usual and throws 100 hard punches a round, Floyd will have no choice but to be like the usual opponent and cover up the whole round and not get any punches off. How is he going to win rounds throwing 10 punches while landing 5 and Manny is throwing 100 punches and landing 30 or 40? Floyd doesn't go against guys with speed and now u have Manny who has speed power defense and is a southpaw who has incredible stamina to throw 100 boxing fast punches a round that are very hard. His defense and footwork are also top quality too, mammy is simply a complete fighter and if he doesn't respect his opponents power which I don't think he will respect mayweathers that much after the first few rounds, then forget about it because he will throw combinations all night and Floyd will have no chance at all. Watch the algieri fight I suspect it will look somewhat like that except Floyd will put up a little better fight.

You mean the same double flicker jab he threw at Marquez before getting KO'd by a counter right hand?

[GRUSTLER]

You guys are failing to realize the magnitude of the fight. Don't compare Mayweather/Canelo to the biggest and most anticipated megafight since Tyson/Lewis.

I doubt ANYONE gets quiet during this fight.

Manny will get his face counter punched in for 12 rounds. He has no defense and he doesn't have size or big power to dictate the pace of the fight and his balance/foot work is not always stable. That punch Maidana hit Floyd with in the rematch didn't stop him then I highly doubt Pacquiao will.
