I could see that. I don't think Floyd's legs are shot, but I know Pac's aren't. If Floyd can't deal with Manny's in and out style he could lose a decision. I think the early rounds will be very telling where they both are in terms of foot speed/footwork. But Roach has been saying this "Floyd's legs are shot" thing since the Marquez fight. Floyd looked better in the fights after and was much more agile against Canelo. Maybe Roach is right, but I think he's just trying to make Floyd doubt himself.

Timing nullifies speed. Once Floyd gets his timing right on Manny, Pacquiao is going to slow down drastically.Originally posted by Ferrarijones View PostComment

Why is the legs such an issue? Will Manny need the legs to run or not run into Mayweather shots? Or we you saying that Mayweather needs the legs to run? Floyd boxes when needed and lets fighters come to him to time them. PAC will be no exception. He may be a moving target but there for the pickings.Comment

I think everyone agrees, Roach talks too much but it is what it is.
Regardless it's easy to see both guys have slowed down but to me Mayweather in his last two fights looks to have been affected the most by Father Time. I couldn't believe how many times, over and over he let Maidana walk him to the ropes and fire off shots. When he kept it in the center of the ring he mostly ruled the fight but Mayeather was hit a lot more than usual in that fight as well. I don't think most of that was planned, mayweather sr could be heard many times saying box him, not once telling Floyd to use the ropes.
Manny has reported cramps in his calfs for about the last five years, his legs are insanely huge so no real concern or surprise.
As far as the Marquez loss he was beating the hell out of Marquez until he got careless and got caught. Can mayweather do the same? Not likely.Comment

Strength and conditioning will help floyd out cause his last two fights he used his legs only when he thought he needed to. Meaning he knows he cant use them at will like he used to. Floyd has everything to lose in this fight so i believe he will b on so type of peds. He can easily go by the tests undetected so i hate to say it but i hope manny takes something as well. Too much at stake for floydComment

What in the actual... You really just... I would've expected you to say "I hope manny doesn't stoop to his level. His morals are worth more than any one single fight".... But no. You are actually hoping Manny takes PED's for this fight because you think Floyd might be on something, which in itself is absolutely ridiculous when he's the guy that got the blood testing discussion started in this sport and it's pretty much the stat quo for all the major fights now!
Quick question why do you think Floyd will be juicing for this fight?Comment

Lets face it they have the money to pass the tests( dont know about vada) if they choose. Floyd an advocate for boxing..really? He has usda or whatever in his pockets not to mention him outside of boxing but forget all that. Manny not wanting to take the tests was su****ious, he probably was on something back then but doubt it now. Im not on either side i just think floyd has everything to lose. You think floyd wanted to stand there and take maidanas shots? Just be real and dont be a floyd or pac nuthuggerComment
