Pacquiao's trainer claims he has detected signs of wear and tear in the unbeaten Mayweather ahead of boxing's biggest occasion in years, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

And Roach is confident his man can expose the 38-year-old's emerging flaws come fight night on May 2.

"I don't think he moves like he used to," Roach told Sky Sports News HQ at a media open day at his Wild Card Gym. "His legs aren't what they were - that's the first thing to go with a fighter.

I don't think manny is "better"

But I do think manny has the faster footwork, handspeed is about the same, maybe an edge to manny because he throws more combos, and floyd potshots and counters..
Floyd is gonna have a slight height and reach advantage, and manny is gonna have the footspeed advantage.. I think manny will be able to dart in and out, and close the distance whenever he wants especially if floyd is laying back, using the shoulder roll, looking to counter.

They are about the same in speed at this point in time. But Mayweather is better.

The only thing Pacquiao is good at is taking peds and sleeping.

Mayweather won't need to use his legs it's not like Pacquiao is going to be pressuring him and fighting inside, Pacquiao fights in bursts from distance in and out. Pacquiao will come to him overreaching, lunging, wide open for Mayweather counters.

Mayweather doesn't throw combinations. He can't and won't beat Manny. The closer the fight gets, the more and more I'm so confident in Manny. Floyd can't hold off Manny with single punches.

PAC is Floyd's kryptonite, and its gonna shock people how bad of a style matchup he is for Floyd. Floyd is a rare fighter, and that rareness is the reason why he can't beat PAC. Its rare in that, Floyd is so so good, but his punching style, and his movement style is so so susceptible to Manny's entire fighting style.

Manny's going to shock people at how dominant he will be. It won't shock me. Serious, and not being a fanboy.
