Comments Thread For: Roach Hopes Mayweather Uses His 'Favorite Punch'

[mastertech1985]

just the fact that Maidana gave him 2 razor close tough fights tells you pac will destroy Mayweather. Maidana is B class at best, he's lost to alexander, Khan and Kotelink, even Morales taxed him bad, old fat Morales.

As for his favorite punch, Jab to the body. Pac will time a left hand.

If you think Mayweather-Maidana 2 was a razor thin close fight, then you really don't know how to score a fight...Chino maybe won 3 rounds


I had it 7-5, 8-4, 7-5 after scoring it 3 times, that's a competitive fight BUT Mayweather won clearly


I know you guys hope Mayweather loses, but damn the guy has 47 fights no losses and only a handful of competitive fights....no need for trilogies when you clearly beat your opposition.

[ThePrince]

you do realize Mayweather and Bradley fight nothing alike, nor does Maidana and Pacquaio

Lol, the great Bradley got beat up from pillar to post by Provodnikov who lost to wholly average Algeiri and beat nobody of note his whole career...Who? Alvarado who has like 2 decent wins his whole career



so, basically you are saying that Bradley is a better fighter than Mayweather is today and if they fight that Bradley would win?

Bruh, Floyd looked like absolute trash in 2014. Do you seriously think Pretty Boy Floyd from say 2005 would've needed a rematch to prove he was a better fighter than the guy Devon Alexander blanked on the scorecards?

And wasn't the flowmo argument about Pac's opponents that Roach/Arum cherry pick shot, past prime fighters for Manny to destroy? Why is it different now with a 38 year old Floyd who looked pedestrian in his last few fights?

Yea even with the first fight it was close. But Floyd still won. The second fight Floyd won all but maybe 3 rounds and just ran and pot shotted after getting caught. I was miffed back then but didn't blame him just because why risk Maidana landing something big in such a meaningless low reward re-match. I was just content that because Floyd made it such a boring fight that the fans would force him to fight Pac this year and luckily I was right.

that's a razor thin close fight, esspecially when you know one of those rounds you're not completely sure who should get it, round 7 right?

and what if bayless didn't take the uncalled for point?

Wrong! Floyd uses the pull counter on Orthodox fighters. Manny is a southpaw and Floyd's favorite move on Southpaws is the straight right. Just go back and look when Floyd fights southpaws. He rarely will ever use a pull counter and Maidana didn't figure out anything.

I agree. The problem with trying to counter Floyd off of the straight right is that he throws it without telegraphing it. Even more of a problem for Pacquiao since he's giving up almost 5 inches in reach. Not buying what freddie said about Floyds legs though. The guy can move and gets himself out of precarious situations with relative ease. They aren't focusing on the right things.

Mayweather> Algieri....Mayweather has more championship fights and kayos than this guy has total fights.....Algieri didn't belong in the same ring, let alone the same street as a great fighter like Pacquaio...it was nothing more than a tune up with a decent fighter with a belt....albeit from a lower weight

Mayweather> Bradley....Bradley is a very good all arounder and one of my favorite fighters but you still didn't answer my question....do you think Bradley beats Mayweather if they fought this year?



Mayweather>>>>>>>>Rios.....Rios isn't even a top ten welterweight and has has beat one contender above 135.....tough but average Alvarado




it goes both way....Manny Pacquaio isn't the same fighter he was pre-2012 after a kayo loss like that.....hmmmm I find it funny since the loss to JMM he has been in the ring with fighters that Make mayweather's punching power seem concussive.....8 kos in 20 wins lol......12 kos in 30+ fights....riiiiiiight



Neither fighter is in their prime....still doesn't change the fact that Mayweather has more left than Manny, is smarter, just plain better....we'll see May 2nd

Who looked like the fresher, closer to prime fighter in 2014... Floyd who got beat up by Maidana and had to rematch him or Manny who clowned 2 straight undefeated fighters, one of them being the P4P #3 fighter in the world?

That Marquez loss was a flash KO, not like he was getting beat up by JMM. It was actually the other way around, Manny was tearing his ass up and Marquez's corner was considering stopping the fight. There's a reason why Marquez and his team want nothing to do with Manny now (they were offered $10 mil guaranteed before Manny fought Bradley II). They know they got away with one, no need to see that man in the ring again.

It was a blessing in disguise for Pac since he got to take a full year off. He's looked brilliant since coming back. Can't say the same for the Money Man recently.

favorite punch? the one he clocks women with i guess

Brilliant against who....one world class welter n 2 guys who've done nothing at the weight...never beat a contender at ww or anything


Its been 6 years since may weather fought an unranked guy @ the weight he fights....it was jmm after 21 months off, they guy who ktfo of Manny


Manny fights nothing like maidana who is 20 pounds larger, hits harder and is stronger than both may n PAC


People talk about power....may weather will be the hardest puncher PAC faced since getting kayoed

That was no flash ko when it took smelling salt to wake him up....he got dropped I'm the 3rd as well


The fight was a war n PAC got caught slipping


That was the best PAC since he beat cotto....yet he still lost by being overzealous n reckless.....see you may 2nd
