What is wrong with u and whats up with the floyd fans making floyd out To be bigger than he really is? Roach is just giving some insight on what they have plan for Floyd's trap. Nothing more nothing less. He didn't say this will work and floyd will not have an answer for it. U floyd fans is too much.

At the same time I think Pacquiao fans underestimate how good Floyd truly is. I think May 2nd will prove a lot but I also feel if Floyd were to win the excuses will come flying out of the woodwork. If Floyd fights a young guy, they say he was inexperienced. If he fights an experienced fighter they say the guy was over the hill.

There's going to be an excuse come May 3rd I believe but it won't hold much weight this time because this is a fight people have wanted for five years and the anticipation and hype surrounding this fight might nullify that... hopefully.

should roach just stfu and not give away their strategies? unless he is doing mindgames and will go exactly the opposite..

It is amazing how many of these folks were calling Floyd a coward, Duck and other things, now all of the sudden he is some monster, etc. Gimme a ******* break! Manny needs to jump this dude early and not let up. So what if Floyd throws one punch every 15 or 20 seconds. I haven't seen him stop anyone with it, besides sucker punching Ortiz . Floyd prides himself on not getting hit and countering a few shots accurately. That makes his connect percentage look outstanding. However He also has great defense so it is a hard matrix to figure out. However he hasn't fought anyone either who has that type offensive skills and intensity that pac has. Yes Maidana was ferocious , but he loops punches and is a clubber , more than an accurate puncher. So both are fighting guys who are very different than they have faced. But it is just funny as to how many of these fans of mayweather think they know boxing, just becuase they are some kind of slap box king or something. It is going to be a great fight and a chess match unfortunately. I was hoping for an intense skillful trading back an forth, but i feel Mayweather will make it rough inside elbows and all, Then potshot and slide to unpopular decision. Notice i didn't say controversial. I said slow the fight down, boring like all his fights are.

Freddie's stating the obvious. His fighter has no answer for the right hand, so he has to be smart. Netural to me means out of punching range, which stops his offense or forces him to jump in.

My question for the intelligent fight fans on this forum is how does Manny or Freddie, who sounds like he's fighting, stay aggressive, and not walk into shots by leaping in?

Next question is the straight right followed by the left hook to the body that Floyd uses against southpaws. How do they defend that attack?

Next is the left upper cut that Floyd throws it off a straight right movement. Manny is open to this punch we he goes to his high guard defense.

but your forgetting those looping over hand rights and him being a clubber are what gets to floyd not just activoity. maidana style is probably as tough a style as floyds style has and manny is lit

I agreed, some pac fans does post stuff that's way over their head, but if u can spot sarcasm U can tell that a lot of those post from pac fans is to piss the floyd fans when they make post like "fraud is getting ko hahahah". As compare to the floyd fans when they post stuff like "and u think floyd won't have an answer for that" they're actually being serious, it's like they got offended by what roach said and the funny thing is roach didn't say anything else other than what they are working on.

So your point is they should have no strategy because Floyd will adapt to every strategy? Pure genius.

Not my point at all, but speaking up about it and acting like because of this, Pac will not fall for traps or get hit by the right hand ALOT is pure lucacy.

Bigger than he really is? So now Floyd doesn't adapt to what his opponent is doing? Last time I checked, he does. Roach was giving insite and so was I, nothing more, nothing less. No one else is allowed to do this? You Pac fans are WAYYYYY too much!

But roach didn't even say that though. He was just saying what they are working on. I mean u guys should be interested to hear what team pac is working on instead U guys seem to get offended by it. Shiiet I wish there was more articles from floyds camp on what they are working on for manny.
