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

[Doctor_Tenma]

Even Hunter agrees with me, he says it word for word and this is recent at 11:55




It's not about getting defensive or making Mayweather out to be this big puncher, it's the fact that he's simply a better puncher than Marquez at this weight. Pacquiao getting dropped and knockout was simply circumstantial.

Floyd will be down 0-6 midway through the fight and will find himself in a unknown territory where he’ll need to take risks to save the fight. His downfall will only be greater.

It’s the end, there’s no way out of it now. Unless he pulls a Hopkins

I hope this is Roach just talking and not actually TRAINING Manny to just underestimate Mayweather Power and just throw punches and not worry about the punches that is coming back at him

floyd will fake fouls like hopkins-calzaghe trying to get a breather.

How ****** can Roach be to pass comments like these after getting KO'd by Marquez? Has he learn't nothing? Overconfidence much?

I think Manny's best shot is to go into the early rounds with this mindset. Floyd won't take many chances early as he tries to figure Pac out, he needs to come out with the mindset that he is going to take the early rounds by outworking Floyd, even if it means he eats a few shots. If he can win the early rounds and win the crowd, Floyd will be more apt to engage. If Pac comes out like he did against Bradley, it will be an easy fight for Floyd.

If you pick apart his record- Floyd does in fact tend to KO naturally smaller fighters.

I hope Roach & Pacquiao's actual fight plan doesn't reflect this attitude. Manny is definitely going to get hit in this fight. Manny is going to need the have the bigger gas tank in order to win.
