Comments Thread For: Roach: I Don't Think Mayweather Can Hurt Manny

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather will go into the May 2 welterweight showdown as the favourite in his bid to improve on a perfect 47-0 record as a professional, but Freddie Roach is confident that underdog Manny Pacquiao will emerge triumphant on points after the 12 scheduled rounds.

"I know he (Mayweather) is a good fighter but I just think I have the better fighter," Roach told Reuters before overseeing a shadow boxing session by Pacquiao at his Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California.

"Hand speed is going to be a big, big difference in this fight and Manny is much quicker than he is."

Roach, who has guided Pacquiao to world championships in eight weight divisions and a 57-5-2 career record with 38 knockouts, said that he had no concerns about the threat posed by 11-time world champion Mayweather.

Anybody can be hurt, a 10 year catch an adult in the right spot has the capabilities of hurting him.

He's the taller man, the longer reach, and will most likely be the heavier guy on fight night. And they are wearing 8 oz gloves as opposed to the usual 10oz gloves Floyd usually wears. He can certainly hurt Manny, especially after Manny suffered such a vicious KO.

Mayweather always wears 8oz gloves unless he's fighting at 154.

No he doesn't. I heard an interview where he stated he hasn't worn 8oz gloves since 2005 against Sharmba Mitchell.
