Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Mayweather Needs To KO Pacquiao To Win!

[PAC-BOY]

His last KO before the JMM fight was when he was 20/21 years old, he wasn't as young as people claimed when he was knocked out a second time. I don't think the JMM knock out was a fluke at all, I think it exposed something. Guys haven't had the timing or the power to recreate that KO since but Mayweather is certainly the most capable of doing that.

He was 18 when he was KOd by a body shot. His first KO. His 2nd was when he was 21...also a body shot. He also couldnt make weight to that fight. From that fight on he vowed to work his body like no other human next to Bruce Lee and never get KOd with a body shot gain!

It took JMM 4 fights with Manny to land a good shot. Compliments to Mannys recklessness that night. JMM lands a beautiful KO. Lucky punch or not

i cant see how floyd can win this fight on points. Convince me, manny is a volume puncher, he throws twice as much power punch than floyd and the percentage of accuracy is almost the same as floyd's. floyd throws more jab (30% more) and 15 % higher in accuracy percentage than manny's. But power punches are the ones that convinces the judges, so there is some truth to what Roach and Arum said, that Manny will win every round

It happened before. See Mayweather-Castillo fight.

Jones should say the other way around. "Pacquiao should knock Floyd out in order to win" This fight is a done deal. Floyd is Vegas treasure. From MGM venue, referees, judges, boxing commissions, he controls it. And that includes the USADA. If money talks, it talks louder when millions is involved.

Ali has spoken and now Roy Jones! Who's got fraud, Pauli Malignaggi?

[creekrat77]

Roy believes Mayweather will ko Pac like he did to Hatton late in their fight. He also said of it goes to the judges he sees Manny being the winner. Basically Floyd will likely put on the pressure early and use Pacs momentum agaisnt him.

I see this much different. We are going to see Manny use angles like never before. Roavh has been salivating over this fight since foreever. It will come down Pacs non stop affective aggression and his ability to find openings at unorthodox angles with his footwork.

Mr Jones! Manny is a very tough opponent for Floyd and everybody knows it. Will not be that much easy for Floyd to handle him in the ring. Nanny's speed and strength would give Floyd a very tough time in the ring on May 2.

Roy saying what I've been saying for years. Its hard to KO Manny. Ppl let the JMM KO fool them. Before that KO, Manny was KO when he was 16 0r 17yrs old. We all know since the first Morales fight, he's pretty much won every round in every fight.

I agree...

It's in the best interest of both fighters to not let this get to the cards. I've said this since the fight was announced, if it goes to the judges somebody is getting shafted. A controversial result would only hype up a rematch, a draw would only hype up a rematch, Floyd taking a loss would only hype up a rematch, Pacquaio being jacked by scorecards would only hype up a rematch. Too many people have a lot to gain by turning this into more than a single fight. It's vegas after all.

I highly doubt there would be a rematch if Floyd wins the fight. Regardless if it's closed desicion or split desicion. He only one fight left in his contract with Shotime and he'll fight his last fight against Cotto to get those belts from him. Book mark it.

Yes, this is true.
Brickcity said Pac needs to seriously hurt Floyd and that's his only way to win. Was just nice to see an expert agrees that Floyd can be outworked.
I'm sure Roach has Manny working on feints and other things to avoid getting timed.

While I respect the opinions of both those legends of the sport. Literally every single fighter that has faced Floyd came into their fights with him with the same game plan out hustle him... Easier said than done. It's nice to say that Manny throws a ton of punches,the angles, foot speed, but the truth is that none of that matters when Floyd is picking you apart from the outside. Lesser fighters were successful against Manny doing exactly that and even walked away with wins.

He needs to pick up some early rounds while mayweather is figuring him out... He then needs to catch him with something BIG that makes Floyd take another round or two off to readjust and then at that point he's in a position to win.

I can't see a scenario where Manny just cleanly out boxes Floyd 7-5 (clear) ... He would have to land Big a few times in separate rounds... Just my .02

So what you saying is that Vegas don't want more millions of dollars for a rematch? Got it.
