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

[GRUSTLER]

Dude... I think you are on to something. It's something that Pacquao fans will use to say Floyd is scared of a rematch because the "perfect" Pacquaio will be more perfectly trained and prepared next time.

I am willing to bet that will be his first excuse.

Pacquiao could have been a much better fighter if Roach would have developed him more instead of having him face guys that he had big advantages over or many flaws Manny could exploit. Imagine if Manny had a good jab and could cut the ring off. Also image his defense allowed him to slip the counter right hands. Truth is, Manny is Manny which is an offensive fighter that uses his speed to take advantage over his opponents. Roach just wanted to win and looked for flawed fighters. Roach has stated since 2008 that Mayweather is different than all the guys Manny has faced but still didn't develop him over all the years. Adjusting is just not one of Pacquiao's strong traits and I think JMM proves that. Not saying Floyd is the same but rather pointing out that through all them years and 4 fights, Roach either couldn't teach anything new or Manny just can't execute a game plan. Either way, May 2nd Manny loses.

Floyd fans don't make excuses but rather stay consistent with knowing our fighter will win. All the excuses come from Pacquiao fans setting up everything for when Manny loses.

I actually agree with Roach. Feints need to be Manny's friend this fight. Can't wait.

With Memo on board, that shot could KO Pacquiao.

Need to get the defence spot on, and minimise Floyd's punches that he lands, avoid those punches, counter them and take them away.

Manny doesn't know this yet. He doesn't think Floyd's power will phase him. But we all seen what Memo did with Marquez.

When people are scared,they tend to downplay the other persons accomplishments. Thats why for the past 5 years,floyd fans have been acting like if Pacquiao is a c grade fighter,and not an 8 division world champion,and guaranteed hall of famer. It won't be an easy fight for either of them,and they'll both have to be at the top of their games to win.

This exactly. It's not going to be an easy night for either figther and they better bring their A-games. Floyd fans act like Manny is some how is some amateur with no subtlety's and nuances in his game too. I hate how they talk so matter of factly that Floyd is going to cruise to a wide UD. lol I like Floyd but his fans not so much. I'll be rooting for the Filipino slugger but I think Money takes it though.

Manny and Roach keep talking about manny making floyd engage, that means he's gonna get to chasing floyd around, trying to make a fight and he's gonna realize that he's losing rounds and Manny is gonna do something ****** trying to make something happen and Floyd is gonna catch his ass. Remember crowd is gonna start booing and Floyd is gonna keep winning on points and Manny is gonna get restless, and do exactly as he's always done, start leaping in and Floyd is the bigger guy. All of their similar opponents say their punching power is about even and they would know more about that, than some people who have never boxed or been hit squarely in the face. Manny is gonna be suprised by Floyd's power cause just like Canelo didnt walk thru it, Manny wont either, no one has. Manny has never faced anyone near the skill level of floyd, tards always try to say floyd has never faced anyone like manny, but the same applies to him. and NO ONE considers manny to be a better "boxer" than Floyd, just ask their similar opponents. Of course "fans" think they know more than the boxers or trainers and Arum is a great promoter so you have to give him credit for making people think this is a credible match up. Floyd is multiple levels above pac in this sport and that will win out. As it does 99% of the time. He has to get lucky (pac) and when people see that you know he's a underdog for a reason. one side is hoping for luck and one is hoping on skill. I go with skill, and no one thinks manny has more skill, he used to ko people over 5 years ago and thats the only hope for him, to all of a sudden have power he hasnt shown in 5 yrs. good luck with that

Ha ha, and then you woke up - kinda like your hero after Marquez sent him into extended nap time...

You're the one who needs to wake up and realize that Pac will win rounds as will Mayweather, regardless of who takes the lead or comes on. If you think all that is going to happen is Pac walking into punches and not getting his pound of flesh, you're delusional.
