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

Mayweather can hurt Pacquiao... Look out for the check hook in this fight.

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).

Bradley landed some good shots, I think it's Rios' punches in the earlier rounds that looked more disturbing. Pacquiao didn't react well to that but then again it could be because he was coming off a knockout.

I can say confidently that Floyd hits harder than Marquez. Floyd can hurt manny.

Lol GTFO!!!!! Mayweather throws svoring shots. Marquez tries to knock you out.

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.

As far as I know Mayweather only wears 10 oz gloves for fights at 154. Until I see any evidence to the contrary that's what I'm sticking with.

Bradley wobbled him real good , if Floyd has him in the same position he will stop him , not having to deal with a much bigger opponent in this fight Floyds power goes up dramatically , its physics .

That Bradley shot looked worse than it was because Pacquiao, in his typical fashion, was off his feet with no balance when the shot landed. We've seen Pac hit by them sort of shots before by Marquez in the second fight in particular and he wasn't hurt but it looked terrible. Prince Naseem was also a victim of this in the Barrera fight. The bottom line is that bad balance makes shots look bad. Pacquiao was a little buzzed - a slight dip in his legs occurred but he wasn't badly hurt, in fact he recovered in about 5 seconds. In any case, Floyd won't stop Manny if he hurts him unless he has him in completely out on his feet because he never tries to finish - he's way too safety first. With that said, anybody who thinks Floyd can't hurt Manny simply doesn't know anything about boxing. Let me assure everybody here that Floyd can get Manny out with 1 punch and vice versa. From the perspective of physics and biomechanics, it doesn't take much power to do so if a shot lands on the sweet spot. However, doing this would require a perfect shot given that these guys are not great punchers up at this weight, but such a shot is unlikely to land over the course of 12 rounds.

probably because he got ktfo previously and had a 1 year layoff.

he was back to normal after a few rounds.

Roach doesn't think that Mayweather can hurt Manny but he doesn't want Manny to fight in the pocket?

[MELLY-MEL...]
