    working on "cutting off Floyd's escape" sounds good to me. Algieri is not on Floyd's level. Clearly. But if you watched the fight, if you looked closely, PAC used a bunch of tricks and mixed up punches/feints to close the gap.

    They are gonna utilize some tricks for Floyd as well... But footwork and positioning will be very key .

      I don't know about you guys, but I feel that all the pre-fight news that is emanating from both camps is like watching Sun Tzu's Art of War in action. Pretty much, Tzu talks about deception. Just how much of what we hear is actual news versus just smoke and mirrors? Everyone says Floyd is a master of psychology, but how much of it will work against a guy like Manny who will not be intimidated. I know we will know who is the better man come May 2nd sans any controversy. But as we speak, the outcome is being decided via each combatant's training camp and only Floyd/Manny know whether or not they are in mental and physical shape to stand a chance at realizing victory.

        Exactly!

        They are doing random testing so expect them to be tested alot since testing is a big deal now for Team Pac and his fans.

Unless Mayweather is throwing his pops more seeing how he has more to spend. But something tells me Floyd is a little tight with the $ when it comes to employee pay... Doesn't want to spoil them I guess lol
            he rather suge knight them and pay them in temporary gifts lol.

                floyd always gets labled a duck but why does no one ever bring up the fact pac didnt fight nate campbell, mark too sharp johnson, rafeal marquez, julio diaz, zahir raheem or tim austin.... Why arent these labled ducks or ever brought up but margarito, paul williams, and every other fight that didnt happen for floyd brought up?

                the same arguments that will be made for pac man can or will be used for floyd as to why he didnt fight margarito but why are these fights never brought up as ducks or fights pac could have taken but didnt...

                just trying to have a discussion before i leave work!

                  Stuff you like to hear:

                  "We were in the locker room and the subject [of my pay for the fight] came up," Roach said. "He wanted to know what I wanted. I said, 'What do you want to give me?' He just kept saying, 'Tell me what you want.' So I told him to go work it out with [his agent]. And Manny said, 'No. No. I want to do it with you. And so we spent 20 seconds in the locker room and he said, 'What if I pay you this much?' And I shook his hand and said, 'Deal. Thank you.' It's more money than I've ever seen in my life and it was very, very fair. Way more than fair, honestly.

                  "I am happy for it and I'm out here working my ass off for him. It's not because of the money, but because he's such a nice guy and a good and honorable man."

                    I'm glad Manny is taking care of Roach, they have went through everything together.
