Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Can't Follow Floyd and Walk Into Shots

[Street]

Roach is sounding defeated already. Hardcore Pac fans, this is the time you should all start to panic.

This fight will not play out the way many people think it will. It will be boring with lots of clinching, holding, elbows, running. Manny will always come forward hitting air and catching leather. No way does Manny corner Floyd and no way does he KO him. On the contrary, there is a higher possibility that Floyd KOs Manny coming in and I would not be surprised if he does. Floyd has one of the best straight right hands in the sport, very quick, very sneaky. It will be landing all night snapping Mannys head back and scoring rounds. If a KO happens it will be by Floyds left hook. Southpaws are suckers to left hooks and straight right hands down the middle. I am glad to hear Roach being real and not speak out of his behind because being real is being conscious of what is in front of him. Mayweather should not be underestimated, you can not just go in there and bullrush him into a brawl because he wil not brawl, he will backpeddle like any boxer would. You need a plan A, a plan B and a plan C and that is what Roah is saying.

everyone talks like Floyd is some mythical creature. He's not as hard to hit as some of you make out

Thats probably whats going to happen, and Floyd will pick him apart.

Agreed.

Floyd typically does not want to lead and Pacquiao simply can't win fighting off of the back foot. Pacquiao will be walking into right hand counters ALL night..

Lol, so true. I don't remember Floyd fans talking like this before the fight. Now they're acting like he's in his prime and hits like hearns. They forget how **** he looked against maidana.

Watch Pac on super defensive mode after round 8 after winning most rounds avoiding those BS potshots and playing smart "u tag me but i tag u more" stealing rounds from Money May.

Its funny how everybody says Manny will be so aggressive that he will run into shots.... What happens if he plays doctor like in Pac/Bradley 2 and starts countering?

I think floyd game plan going be to smother manny and not let him get his punches off mess up Freddie whole game plan especially if floyd take one of manny punches early on and see that he can take it walk him down turn it into a inside game roach should be working on that with manny and not talking about ko or any of that neither one of them is knocking each other out

[ironmt]

apply pressure, cut off the ring, inside fighting, jab, physically stronger than pac and if he has to can make things dirty.

pac doesn't know what a jab is, can't cut the ring, no inside fighting and will not be able to man handle floyd like chino did.

Are you referring to the same Maidana that went to war with Brandon Rios? Robert Garcia had this to say......They went at it pretty good. There were rounds where I would just close my eyes. The same Brandon Rio's that wouldn't even make a solid sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao.

I think we have all seen what Pacquiao does to guys that are stronger then him. So Pacquiao can't jab, can't cut the ring off and has no ability to fight on the Inside, Right? If Floyd happens to lose on May 2nd would It be safe to say that he was beat by a bum? If so, does that make Floyd a bum?

I believe floyd going to use the jab a lot more in this fight. Pac needs to hurt him early and often if not then we going to see a one side fight.

[richardt]

Agreed.

Floyd typically does not want to lead and Pacquiao simply doesn't fight off of the back foot, he turns and uses angles, does not go back in a straight line. Pacquiao will be walking into right hand counters and landing lefts and body punches of his own each round
