Interesting seeing as Manny Pacquiao has been fighting at welterweight for how long? 5 years? This is the first time since, what? 2012 that he's fought someone with 5 fights at welterweight or above? Any welterweight punchers since getting starched? Glass houses and stones, my friend. Glass houses and stones.
Pacquiao is a great fighter who has achieved so much, but his welterweight run is the perfect picture of "right opponent at the right time" (except Marquez, which should've been Cotto at catchweight again, and went seriously wrong). Can't hate though, because it's not as if he hasn't earned the right to choose, or even has a choice as Bob does the picking.Comment

And this will be one of thee excuses used by Roach when Manny loses.I guess you haven't been watching any video clips of Manny. Manny has shown leg cramps. It's not BS.
BTW - Roach was interviewed the other day and tried to downplay it and even said that it wasn't leg cramps. He said it was a blister on one occasion and also called it something else .....
Again, it was caught on tape. That is why Roach is being asked and that is why he is responding.Comment

what you're talking about is nonsense
Why do you keep talking about these old Maidana fights, fight 1 clearly Floyd stood in the pocket and on the ropes more to give people what they want, and that was more action and that was a good entertaining fight. Come fight #2 it seemed like people were convinced that Floyd could be hit and he couldn't move as much, So fight #2 he cleary showed people that yes he can still move and that fight was cool I would say, but what you're talking about is nonsenseMaidana hardly put any weight on Floyd at all in the rematch. Any time he got close Floyd initiated a clinch which Bayless quickly broke. The rest of the time Floyd moved.
I can't help thinking Floyd is going to clinch a lot against Pacquiao too. Floyd can't sit in the pocket with Manny, no welterweight can without getting lit up. His gameplan has to rest on distance control and forcing Pacquiao to lunge and overreach.
But I don't think Floyd can move that much for 12 rounds any more. And Pacquiao's own countering ability is going to be dangerous all night long. I think Floyd will look to clinch Pac a lot in the centre of the ring. His night is going to be about setting up lead right hands, landing them, and immediately clinching before Pac can return fire.
It'll make for an ugly fight but I don't think Floyd has the gas tank to do it any other way.Comment
