Comments Thread For: Roach: We Have To Dominate Mayweather in Round One

Come on man.... Bradley wobbled Pacquiao with a right in the 2nd fight. Manny leg almost went out from under him.

bradley has also stopped someone in the last decade (unlike Floyd...unless you count sucker punching that ****** Ortiz)

I have to say: I'm blown and disappointed that people keep acting like Floyd has enough pop to keep Manny off him. All this talk about Floyd's right and Manny not being able to handle a right is nonsense. Floyd doesn't have the power to keep Manny off of him. Before Marquez knocked out Manny we all knew Manny had great whiskers. But since Marquez now he's damaged goods? I don't think so. Rios, Bradley, and Algieri have all stopped guys more recently than May. (I don't necessairly believe that is some sort of logic, but with the way logic around here--it's worth mentioning)

What I'm saying is: I'm super suprised that a lot of you guys think May can hold off and manage Mannys power.

I normally think Manny fans are the dumbest fans in sports, but you May fans are giving them a run for their money

Manny went from getting knocked out by two very small guys, being visibly rocked by Erik Morales, Barrera and JMM, to walking through bombs from Cotto and Margarito and taking an uppercut from Clottey that should have knocked him on his backside without flinching, all the way around to being knocked out and dropped by JMM and wobbled by featherfist Bradley.

It is obvious that he is not able to just walk through shots anymore (for whatever reason) and if Floyd can rock Guerrero and Cotto with as few shots as he throws he can most definitely hurt Manny. Floyd backs up much heavier guys than Manny with just one shot, how would it surprise you that he can hurt him?

All you have to do is tell Pacquiao that Floyd is an Atheist and watch him jump on him from the bell.

There you go Freddie, I did your fucking job for you... now get me some tickets

lol Freddie is an atheist doe

He treated Algieri and Bradley like target practice,and they're just as mobile as floyd,so he should have no problem keeping up with mayweathers pace. I actually disagree with the idea that Manny should bumrush Floyd at the beginning. His best bet is from round 8 onwards,where Floyd just gets on his bike and tries to cruise. He should get him used to a certain amount of speed and pressure,and when Floyd least expects it,Pacquiao unleashes hell. As for Floyd knocking Pacquiao out,or making him gun shy,I'm willing to bet anything that Pacquiao will walk through anything that Floyd will throw at him.

I stopped reading there.

But Bradley don't hit harder than Mayweather and to say so would be nonsense just because he wobbled Pacquiao. A sucker punch is punching somebody from behind when they don't see it. I don't want to get into this nonsense. The fight is coming on fast because time don't stand still and we will see what both fighters bring to the table come fight night.

Let's talk tactics openly to equip our opponents. Yeeeeah!!!!!

Roach's plan about jumping on Mayweather early will not work because Mayweather is super defensive and he is taking the first couple of rounds to analyze his opponent. Also, he is using the ring and keeping his jab out there and turning off the ropes immediately. Manny is not going to dominate Mayweather in rd 1 and that is ludicrous because Mayweather don't open himself up really until he has his spots figured out. Manny is going to come forward and Floyd will keep him at bay until he sees openings for sure.

[jjsmyth87]

True, and it would seem like Roach is encouraging Manny to go all out in those early rounds to take advantage of that open window.

That's a ridiculous thing to say. Mayweather cant adapt to pacquiao because he is such an akward fighter and doesn't do the same thing every time or come in from straight ahead like mayweather is used to. Manny will be up on his feet feinting in and out. Mayweather wont be able to figure him out or throw enough volume to overcome mannys high output which will no doubt be expected of pacquiao. I wouldn't be surprised to see him throw 100 punches a round for a fight of this magnitude. It took Marquez 3 and 1/2 fights to figure out pacquiao, and it took mayweather 2 fights to figure out both Castillo and maidana, what makes you think Floyd who looked so average against maidana will figure Manny out so quick? Not going to happen. Manny by late stoppage. He is so focused for this fight, go on esnews Ellie sechback has a video of Manny draining in like 10 3 pointers in a row, and we all know how horrible Manny usually is at shooting long jumpers. Did you see the size of mannys neck compared to mayweathers at the conference? Looks like Manny the pit fighting mayweather the old poodle.

Don't matter because Manny can't avoid the right anyway.

Manny needs to fight smart do not take unnecessary risk. I can see manny out pointing floyd if he fights smart.
