Comments Thread For: Roach: I Think Manny Dislikes Floyd, I'm Betting on a KO

[SchoolTheseCats]

Everybody has a plan until they get hit my man and Floyd isn't the first guy that thought Pac was going to be "easy work". However, after almost all of his fights, the story is the same, "he was too fast and I couldn't see the punches coming."

The difference with pac last opponents then floyd is everyone knows floyd is the best at adjusting to his opponent strengths and neutralizing it if manny tried to blitz him floyd would adjust to it snd set trips pacman going need gamplans to counter floyds adjustments and the way roach been talking seems just going go in there with one plan which is relying on pac to be faster then floyd

Boxers go broke because they are poor managers of money (in general, there are some who are very wise investors). These dudes make more in one fight than the average Joe makes in 40 years of working. Athletes in general get paid that kind of money because of the dangers that come along with their professions, all sports across the board. If you get into sports, you must know that potential injury is part of the deal.

Floyd sets standards that no other boxer will be able to obtain and in order to get there, you need to overstate your value to a very large degree. Look at Ward, he thinks because he won the Super 6, he is another Floyd Mayweather, hasn't really worked out too good for him though has it?

they would still need the resume floyd had and also winning ward issues are he can't stay healthy and had promoter issues

Just more bluster - Manny does not know what he has gotten himself into. I feel sorry for him.

I think this fight will be more competitive than everyone thinks. I'll probably be the only one who sees a draw to be honest. I mean I think both guys will find success in their own respective 6 rounds. Floyd has never been with a man of Pacquiao's caliber with his hand speed, footwork, awkwardness and stamina. Pacquiao uses smart tactics. But Floyd on the other hand is a superb defensive counter puncher I'm hearing he's training more on his strength, which is silly because you can get big but you won't likely be as strong as you'd think. Similar to Tim Bradley's size, big muscular dude but doesn't punch as strong. It will be risky for Floyd to go for the KO, but can't blame him because KOing Pacquiao will send the ultimate message to everyone. Floyd won't be used to getting hit a lot, but I have a feeling he will get hit more often on this fight alone than any of his last recent fights. It could also be a cat and mouse type fight. There's so any variables in this fight. Pressure will be on the judges.

This poster has less than 200 posts yet is probably the closest thing that I believe will happen.

Floyd and Manny will have their spots, and neither will look flawless. Floyd will be hit a lot more than he has been in recent fights and Pacquiao is not really low ring IQ as haters would like you to believe. Floyd's training is also unusual given how log cutting is more strength-related than speed. That's not what you want for Pacquiao, but he may be gunning for the KO to make the ultimate ****. Your post was great.

Yeah. Poor bastard. I feel sorry for him too. What's he going to pocket for this fight? 40 million? 50 million? More? At worst he loses a decision to Floyd who basically is barely above Paulie Malignaggi power these days, so Manny leaves the ring without a bruise on him and pockets 50 mil or whatever regardless.

Damn what an awful situation he has gotten himself into

LMAO.....

Would say though that Mayweather still has power but he doesnt use it, he doesnt sit on his punches like he used to, and he always wants to be in an advantageous position to hit and not be hit. Like Foreman said "a fighters punching power is the last thing to go". With that said you're right I don't see Mayweather using much power unless he catches Pac with a check hook coming in like what happen in the Ricky Hatton fight, or something similar.

I would assume Manny will pocket more than 50 million. But having money will not mean *****e when he gets blasted. This is not a 50/50 fight and only part of this is about money. Hatton had plenty of money and needed plenty of counseling. Being thoroughly defeated/embarrassed at your job when you work hard and believe this is your moment and it is not - That is not a easy thing to reconcile. So yes, I do not think Manny knows what he is up against. And yes, I feel sorry for him. FMJ's style of fighting demoralizes the opponent mentally. And if you believe the bold, put the keyboard down.

Pac has already, in his imagination,
fought this fight hundreds of times...

Two Great Fighters...Pac and Freddie,
have the Plan, and FRAUD would like
to be somewhere else on May 2nd...
