Comments Thread For: Roach Making Changes in Strategy For Mayweather

[Bolopunch68]

yes. The negotiations started after Pacquiao beat Cotto because Pacquiao after refusing the cut off went to fight Clottey who Cotto beat before.

Ok, I stand corrected. Did Floyd mentioned Arum as one of his demands though? (1st negotiation)

They always say... you can't compare Marquez and Mayweather but here he is comparing Judah and Pacquiao.

When was the last time you saw Floyd went toe to toe with someone lately? Does Floyd willing to get hit to land his punches like Marquez did against Manny? He's comparing those straight left from Judah which landed flash on Mays face. But that's the only two similarities between the two. Southpaw and straight left which is effective on a shoulder roll defense.

Is that the same so called email Atlas received? And when ask to provide copies of it he went silence although everyone here knows he does not like Manny.

Ok but where is your link about Floyd failing 3 tests?

In the first negotiations Floyd was not complaining about Arum at all. Everything was about the blood tests.

Google Gabriel Montoya you'll see it there. Unless they deleted it. You're at it, google the defamation lawsuit from Manny against Oscar, Richard, Sr, and Jr, and you'll see why they settled out of court and pay Manny handsomely.

Floyd don't have to go toe to toe or get hit to land counter punches. Manny is a sucker for the right counter overhand which is Mayweather's money punch. Even Roach said Floyd was bigger better Marquez. Not in them exact words but similar.

Ok, what happen when he agrees to everything Floyd demanded?

So if it that easy for Floyd to beat Manny, why did it took him this long to finally (hopefully) fight him?

Why do people compare Marquez and Floyd? Sure, they both are great counter punchers but Marquez was willing to go to war to beat Manny, is Floyd willing to stand in there and counter as Manny fires off 4-5 fast punches? I doubt it...

I saw Maidana beating Floyd to the bunch a bunch in the middle of the ring and countering Floyds punches..floyd doesn't have the same reflexes as when he was 30 years old and that is to be expected..

Mannys hand speed could be a huge factor in stealing some rounds unless Floyd wants to mix it up and land more punches the Manny. Manny could be the only guy the judges would give rounds to if the punch output is relatively close..

Imo Manny needs to try to use a jab and feint quite a bit to get Floyd to react and counter and manny catch him before he gets off..if he can land when Floyd is punching he has a great shot at hurting him with something he doesn't see.

We all know Floyd is the best defensive fighter in ages and it will be tough for Manny to land super clean punches at will but catching him when he commits like Maidana did at the end of round 3 in fight 2 could be the deciding factor..

I've yet to to see anyone beat Manny without being willing to go to war with him but if anyone can do it I guess it would be Mayweather.. Styles make fights and that's why this fight will be amazing to watch..I could see Floyd by Ud, floyd by KO, manny by decision, manny by KO or stoppage who knows...
Can't wait to see what happens either way..and all you racist pricks on here, get a fkin life already...

Because Manny Pacquiao walked away from the fight in 2009. Where you been all this time?
