You just jinxed FLoyd right there! Right there, just when you think you know whats gonna happen in a fight, BAM!, the whole gameplan changes. Seriously, don't be so sure about this fight, and lets be real, Floyd could get knocked out...Comment

Gotta bring more than that IMO. I could see Manny having success with that for a round or two, but honestly how long do you think it will take for floyd to adjust? No doubt he would start throwing a right uppercut if manny did that, a lot like he did against Miguel Cotto.
That is honestly the most underrated thing about floyd, he literally has every single punch in his arsonal.Last edited by deliveryman; 03-20-2015, 06:06 AM.Comment

Mayweather's favorite punch?
The rabbit punch for the ladies.
The b1tch slap for the kids
The lead elbow for the boxers.Comment

I like how you avoided my question....so who do you think would win a fight between Mayweather and Bradley in 2015?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?Comment

Five years of studying and that was what we got.Trainer Freddie Roach has effectively locked down the Wild Card Boxing Club when he and Manny Pacquiao are going
through strategy on the mitts or during sparring sessions as they prepare for the May 2nd bout versus Floyd Mayweather.
For this fight they have a very detailed game plan versus the sophisticated style they will be facing.
But Roach did divulge this to BoxingScene.com * "I know what his favorite punch is and I will like it when he uses it
against Manny Pacquiao because Manny... I think the southpaw stance will help him, I think he'll take advantage of it but
it's gotta be precise, it's gotta be timing. It's gotta be almost perfect. I mean, you have no room for error with this fight."
You assume that Roach is talking about Mayweather's straight right*hand. Or perhaps his 'check*hook'. Regardless, this
comes after five years of studying 'Money' on film.
"I'm studying from (Oscar) De La Hoya to now," said the trainer. "I've been doing the more recent stuff lately and I've
seen some things, some mistakes, some habits that he has developed recently. He's not the same as when he fought
Oscar that time. But the similarities are there."
As for the biggest change in Mayweather, Roach answered * "I think he's slowed down quite a bit. I think he has to take
breaks. He can't move fluidly for 12*rounds like he used to. His legs are a problem."
