Just let them go at it already.

it really surprises me why of all people it is Floyd fans who argue about Roach game plan that they say obviously not going to work. They should egged roach more to apply those game plan for a sure Floyd win, but on the contrary they shoot it down. how genius are Floyd fans really?

they also like to talk and trash roach for not coming up with a good game plan when pac looks bad (marquez fight) and then here they're trashing roach for talking about coming up with the perfect game plan for floyd. LOL.

He said he's using the things he learned from that fight. He didn't say he's using the same strategy. You bellends.

LOL @ you thinking I'm taking what he says seriously. So he's using the lessons learned from that fight, but that fight was 8 years ago and Roach says Floyd has changed from 5 years ago so he has to alter the gameplan for him. Blah blah blah, it's all hot air.

one minute --

floyd fans: roach is gonna have to come up with the best game plan ever for manny to have a chance against floyd.

roach talks about working on a perfect game plan for manny.

the next minute --

floyd fans: roach is so confused and scared. he doesnt know what to do. the last thing he wants pac to do is to start thinking. just let them fight! stop trying to come up with a game plan to make manny think. manny is at his best when he just goes in there and starts throwing wild.

Intelligent boxing fans shouldn't be questioning Roach plan, BUT, is he able to correct the flaws in Manny. I welcome an intelligent conversation to discuss strengths and weakness of both fighters.

I have nothing against Manny, I like the sport, or the Sweet Science. Hit, and don't get hit.

How does TOY, correct Manny lunging at a taller fighter, and stay on balance?

How will Floyd Sr., put Mayweather in a position to withstand the volume punches from Manny?

I joined this forum to discuss the fight, not the BS discussion regarding Floyd or Manny's personal life. Both is shady.

Go back and look at old fights. Explain why Freddie hasn't corrected these flaws in Manny's style. when Floyd feints, how will Manny react? Look what Marquez, and Algeria did to Manny with feints.

Hell, forget the game plan. Protect your fighter against the most accurate puncher in the game, who does have power.

war Roach. this is his moment. If he can pull this off he's the greatest trainer of all time IMO.

The bold is very hard to do when said fighter is winning damn near all the time even when coming in as an underdog and pulling off the upset.

Good strategy if Manny had Oscars jab.

Pacquiao can use de la hoyas strategy to easily beat mayweather. De la Hoya was in and out the whole fight, which is the exact style Manny is a master of. Pacquiao is 3x as fast as Oscar and alot more powerful and has so much more technical ability and also throws alot more punches. You saw what Manny did to Oscar just a year after Oscar nearly defeated mayweather with the same in and out style of pacquiao. I cant wait to come back here after the fight and see all the excuses.

This is all mind games and bluff....he's already closed off all workouts with Manny. He's not going to leak out his strategy for all to hear.

[jjsmyth87]

Also when cotto started using the in and out style of de la Hoya, it was troubling mayweather as well. Guess who else was in and out against mayweather and has success? Jose Luis Castillo who got robbed of a decision. Manny is a much better boxer than both of them and also much better than maidana who arguably deserved a draw in the first fight by using a high pressure style.
