Chicken Floyd's favorite punch is hitting his opponent when their hands are down like what he did to Ortiz. Chicken Floyd won't do that to Manny Pacquiao. He knows it very well that every punch he throws to the Pacman, the Pacman will hit him back at least six or seven times. You will notice how well behave chiken Floyd was during the face off with Manny Pacquiao. Normally chicken Floyd will hit or shove his opponents during face off...but not with the great Manny Pacquiao.

Your tongue is far too deep in Pac's aasss that you can't see or think. Pac is actually not great. He's an OK fighter. There are 5 average or good fighters who have already beat him, some by KO.

On May 2nd, don't commit suicide. The hype will be silenced. Work on your excuses.

He is talking about Floyds flash straight right hand down the middle. The one punch that snapps peoples head back so visually effective that judges see it from every and any angle. That punch will win Floyd the fight, it is key to his victory.
Roach knows this and is trying to apply reverse psychology on Floyd so as to make Floyd doubtful of using that punch. What Roach should do is STFU because he is not good at mind games.

Yes, but a much less fighter did. We know.

A much lesser fighter in Castillo beat Floyd

Favorite punch huh Freddie? ????? You've been studying you say Freddie? Well maybe you shouldn't be studying because all of Floyd's punches are thought out and is his reaction to the guy he's fighting. It's not like Floyd goes out there expecting to throw this punch or that punch. The man throws punches that in a split second his opponent allows him to throw due to their mistakes. What Freddie should be doing is correcting all the mistakes Pacroid makes which would limit Floyd's opportunities. But hey Freddie was giving all these sympathy awards because of his illness, like Trainer of this and that and it wasn't because he deserved it it was because the guy is ill. IMO there are far to many trainer's in the game that are better than Freddie who deserved that award. Freddie isn't in the top 20 and people know it...

I would assume after watching the video of Manny on another thread he is talking the straight right to the body, which Zab countered and knocked Floyd down with a right hook. Floyd uses that right to the body a lot to keep the distance he wants but has to duck in to land it on a lefty. Zab already showed that trick, and it is probably why Floyd is sparring with Zab now so that he can watch for the foot placement to either commit to that punch or pull it and put his guard up. Manny will have to aim high on the head with that counter to avoid the shoulder absorbing most of the punch and hope he knocks Floyd off balance. Manny's shot at winning is going to be points from flash knockdowns if he can pull off a quick counter followed by a flurry from both hands if/when Floyd gets off balance. Floyd has shown balance problems when he does absorb a shot, even if he stays on his feet the judges will see it and score even if it looks worse than it is.

yes, floyd got timed for that one punch..but did that ever happen again the rest of the fight?.. you see thats what separates him from everybody. he adapts and makes adjustments on the fly. .did maidana suddenly stopped trying to do it? no he kept trying, but floyd made a slight change.. when he pulled counter, he would slip under maidanas counter right..and voila, problem solved

I didn't really see it as timed...it was more a trapped. Maidana feinted with the jab, but slipped and shot the right hand. Floyd usually pulled over the lazy jab. But, yeah, he didn't fell for it again.

In all honesty, i don't think Freddy has a plan, and if he does, it will be volume punches. This is why he is trying to get into Mayweather's head to make Mayweather think twice about his arsenal of punches, perhaps become hestitant in pulling the trigger. This could back fire on Freddie and Pac, because they are exposing themselves.

[Nay_Sayer]

If Roach recognizes that the straight/lead right is Mayweather's favorite punch, why has he NOT recognized that the right hand is also Pacquiao's Kryptonite? We've seen Pacquiao get hit with the right hand over and over and over again - even in the Algeiri fight. So what is Roach gonna do? Is he gonna fix Pacquiao's problem defending against the right hand in ONE training camp?

This is just more evidence, IMO, that Team Pacquiao is lost in the woods...

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

wow roach is so obviously nervous

yea, it seems like its becoming obvious thats what it is. he doesnt know what to do with himself when asked questions. so he bluffs overconfidence. kinda like a puffer fish when being attacked by a predator.

Oh boy, here we go with this again.

Let me guess; this means Pacquiao will lose, right?
