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

[El-blanco]

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

I honestly dont even think he'd be allowed to wear 10 oz. 147 down is 8oz.

[Tay Roc]

I think he can hurt pacquaio, but probably not KO him. I think this fight will be a boring ud for floyd, 8-4, with neither fighter really hurting the other.

Floyd certainly hits harder than marquez. Don't be an idiot.

nah.

jmm got pop, man.

before he was known as a counterpuncher fool was koing ppl early in his career.

maybe if floyd commits yeah.

but floyd doesn't commit to hard punches as jmm does.

probably because of his hand injuries.

Marquez has no pop at 147. There hasn't been one thing to even suggest that he does at this point except for his knockout of pac. Floyd has hurt guys at 147. And just about everyone he fights says he hits harder than they think.

floyd can hurt manny, believe that! if pac is not on his A game, i can see floyd punishing pac in the later rounds. i dont think floyd can ko pac like how marquez did but maybe a tko.

If Roach isn't training Manny to face the best possible version of Floyd then he is making a mistake. It sounds like he is counting on Floyd to be a stationary target.

I'm not being an idiot,and I'm not saying that Marquez hits harder than Floyd,in order to justify Pacquiao getting knocked out. Look at Marquez career and look at Floyd's. Marquez beats people up,and kos them,while Floyd outboxes and dominates them. I've never seen Floyd have one punch hurting power,unlike Marquez.

I would like to see a link to that interview. 8 oz gloves are required for all weights under 154.

[Daddy T]

well he definitely has the power to hurt manny but yeah I don't see him having the power to KO him unless he lands the perfect shot ... even then I doubt pac would stay down

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

lol keep thinking that roach cant wait till may 2 to see pac making excuses
