Lol watch the 4th round of the second Maidana fight and try and tell me Floyd's legs are not done.. lol you're living in cloud cuckoo land if you don't see it.

Algieri has better movement than this Mayweather by a wide margin.

I didn't see his legs "give out" which was the question.

Two things roach needs to address.

1. Algeri moved just to move he didn't use his movement to set anything up, he just circled Manny then he would stop and throw then get back on his bike.

2. Never has Floyd moved for 12 rounds except against Corrales and very long time ago because he is a monster puncher.

Depends how u define it, compared to his peak he's waddling these days.

false hope

Roach knows manny can't be floyd, he has to sell false hope for those that need it.

Floyd Hasn't Been on His Toes For Years..........

Question: How much of a role will footwork and hand speed play into Pacquiao’s success?

Freddie Roach: “Footwork and speed have been two of Manny’s most important weapons in his career and will be hugely important against Floyd. Manny will need both to dictate the pace and direction of the fight. The key to winning the fight is to take Floyd out of his comfort zone and Manny can only do that by fighting his fight, not Floyd’s.

Rubbish !

I completely agree with Roach here, particularly Pac's footwork and speed. Tim Bradley injured his foot/calf several times because of Pac's quickness, or foot speed. Floyd is SO mindful of getting hit that a slight movement will trigger Floyd to flinch. Just imagine Pac moving all over the ring and giving Floyd different looks and angles. How is Floyd going to react? There's a reason Pac is running the hills hard for this fight. He knows it's going to be a track meet and he needs to put the pressure on Floyd with his foot movement.

Nah, hill-work is out.

They are track running, with emphasis on short sprints.

It was announced about 3 weeks ago, maybe 4.

May have been to do with leg cramps, but not sure.

BTW, this whole..... Mayweather is scared, thing..... it really is absurd.

" Floyd is SO mindful of getting hit that a slight movement will trigger Floyd to flinch ".

Some of you are going to be shocked.

Go watch the Canelo fight again..... and you need to remember, Canelo would dwarf Pacquiao, he has much more of a physical presence than Pac.

This whole..... " Floyd is scared " thing..... even though it has been referred to, en masse, for the last 5 years..... funnily enough, there will not be one indication or example of that in the actual fight.
