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

[babynuts]

Roach knows they're in deep here. That's why he keeps saying it needs be inch perfect and no errors. Roach knows his boxing and he knows how hard this task is.

i dont think floyd is far from prime. a little over the hill but not as past prime as pacquiao.

Mind games in attempt to get Floyd uncomfortable with his own punch selection. However it won't work. Floyd just goes in there and does what he does best. He finds what works and sticks with it for 12 rounds. If he needs to adjust, he will.

I remember a saying knowing oneself before trying to know others. I think before Roach focuses on Mayweather's mistakes, he should try to focus on Pacquiao mistakes. And he has a lot. Everyone always wants to think that they themselves aren't flawed, and wants to focus on their their opponents flaws. I never really thought Roach as a great trainer. He's trained established fighters. But never from ground up. I just think Roach is relying too much on "maybes." Guerrero thought Floyd legs were shot based on his Cotto fight and made a whole gameplan out of that notion. Turns out they weren't shot at all. Roach can't control how Floyd is going to fight come fight night. But he can control how Pac fights. So he needs to focus on Pacs mistakes. Not Floyds.

Mayweathers most dangerous punch must be his left hook. Best left hook ever.

I keep smiling when people compare what Maidana could and couldn't do to Jr.
Watching Maidana fight is like watching someone in slow motion.
What Maidana couldn't do, Manny can do. What Maidana could do, Manny can do 10x faster. lol

Floyd favourite punch is the one he used against Ortiz and Gatti.

Pac better don't try to touch glove with this bad sportsman.

Exactly Freddie, you can't just avoid that punch, you have to make him pay when he throws it and take it away from him.

Floyd will be like a little lost lamb in that ring, looking at Bayless to protect and save him from the Pacquiao onslaught

He used it against Mosley, too.

It's a fight. Protect yourself. If you let your guard down, you damn well deserve to pay for it.
