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

Holy ish people are saying Marquez hits harder, people are too agenda driven on these boards.

That's a testament to the quality of fighter that is Marquez, as well as timing.

A testament to Angel Heredia PEDs

I think most people are forgetting that Mayweather usually fights opponents that weigh significantly higher than him so his punches are less impactful. However, do enough to make his opponents think twice.

This will be the first time in a long while he's facing a fighter that weighs less than him on fight night. I'm sure his punches will feel a lot more harder, especially since, he also punches a lot more harder now than he did against JMM and Hatton.

It's shocking that people fail to realize what you said, I think this should have been understood by now, shit it should have been understood in 2009.

First of all....Marquez was clearly on steroids.

With that said, Pacquiao chin is cracked and I wouldn't be shocked in Floyd got a TKO stoppage.

BTW I'm a huge Pacquiao fan, but its easy to see why Floyd wants to fight this version of Pacquiao who is a shell of himself.

Funny thing is, it's this mindset and advice from Roach which led Pacquaio getting knocked out by Marquez. They underestimated his power, made mistakes, jumped in recklessly and paid the cost dearly.

If Bradley could stun Pac with a straight right then what makes you think Mayweather Jr would be able to do. Literally, lift his feet from right up underneath him.

FWIW...I have followed Marquez for years (since the 90's). Dude was without a doubt on Roids as I have never seen him display that type of power in this entire career.

FWIW...I'm not even talking about the KO punch, but the straight shot he hit Pacquiao with that sent him flying across the ring.

This is one of the reason I know Pacquiao's chin is gone. Watching the way Pacquiao reacted to some of Bradley's punches let's me know that Manny is going to end up like Roy Jones (meaning that he is going to suffer another highlight real KO sometime in the future).

Yep, I'm just looking forward to a good fight.

At 147 you can use 8 oz or 10 oz gloves. At 154 you can only use 10 0z gloves. Floyd basically hasn't used 8 oz since moving up to welterweight.

My fault. He did use 8 oz gloves in the Guerrero fights. Which is the only fight at 147 that he's used 8 oz gloves.
