Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Won't Fall For Mayweather's Traps

pac is at his best when he doesn't think imo.

he's an instinctual fighter.

that's why he's deadly in exchanges.

even his d.

in exchanges, you see him duck, slip, parry very well.

when he thinks/plays d not so good unless opponent is really slow.

but he does think though. u guys act like manny just goes in there and starts throwing wild hoping for a lucky punch to land. and when i mean think i dont mean pac needs to stop and pause to think. i guess what ur trying to say is pac is at his best when he comes foward And fight instead of trying to box.

You can't tie a shoelace without thinking either but it doesn't make you Einstein if you can tie a shoelace.

ur comparing tying a shoe lace to timing and throwing punches so that it'll land on ur opponent? LOL. i guess thats how ur mind works.

i never said pac is a master thinker, im saying pac caluclate his punches and knows when to throw it, etc.

why does the floyd fans try to paint this picture that manny is not a thinking fighter?? a fighter who doesnt plan out his attack will not be where manny is at now. sure pac is no mayweather type but for the floyd fans to say manny doesnt think is quite funny.

never said pac is this master boxer thinker. ur reaching.

well of course he thinks. he's a smart fighter and does make adjustments.

but if he makes 5/2 a thinking/boxing match.

might as well give him an L now.

he needs to make it a tough, wild fight. yes he might get KTFO but that's how he has a chance to win.

If Pac Don't KO Jr in the first 4 rounds, by the end of round 7 you will notice a very Panic'd JR.

JR is not facing all the slow fighters he faced in the past ten years.

Jr is not facing little fighters who can't fight at WW.

Jr is not facing some old washed up fighter that can't pull the trigger anymore

and granted

Pac is no spring chicken but he still has the speed and power.

JR is facing a Pacific STORM that will dismantle him before our eyes and Jr will have to make a decision:

Do I stay in the ring and get the beating of my life?

or

Do I fight.

Just based on the intangibles I believe these things.

and

based on Jr's actions , like crying over a little bite to the glove and crying over a minor cut,,,,I CANT SEE,,,I CANT SEE,,,,when they get to the late rounds JR will call it QUITS !!!!!

Exactly...........................

Marquez recently said the same exact thing.

[twosweethooks]

And what kills speed??? Timing my friend. Floyd's timing is impeccable

Floyds timing is impeccable but is it still ?

Remember the end of the third round Maidana 2 ?

Slow Maidana timed Jr's counter and had him on ***** street.

Pac will do the same and KO JR

you don't do what your opponent is better at.

[P.Esco]

eh i doubt it. i could see pacquiao getting in the ring and wanting to land so badly on floyd he leaves him self open for a counter or walks into something

Everyone at this level can think, but there are levels to it.

Obviously it takes some kind of smarts and timing to keep landing the same damn Right-Right-Left combo and not be made to pay for it until Marquez. However Bradley both times made him slow down and think about what he was doing by using footwork. Manny knew he couldn't throw 7 punch combos against him so he had to actually out box him, but obviously have a slow paced thinking match doesn't play to Pac's strengths.
