The fact that many of you guys think that the only defense Floyd uses is the shoulder roll is telling. Tells me you don't watch the man fight, although you talk about him non stop.

Never said that was Floyd's only arsenal. I'm just mainly stating that he can't use one of his effective skills going into a big fight which is his bread and butter shoulder roll. That's all it means.
We all know his shoulder roll is one of his main weapons of choice. Now he has to use other means in his deck of skills to win the fight. That said without his shoulder roll he ain't the complete floyd mayweather going into the fight. Advantage Pacquiao.
Without it he's not 100% maybe 70% without his shoulder roll.Last edited by Spoon23; 04-27-2015, 09:49 PM.

Lol People think shoulder roll is Floyd's main source of defense. Floyd uses defense in many forms. His foot movement. The high guard (The one he specifically uses against southpaws). Head movement. Parry.

Watch Floyd's last few bouts against southpaws and watch how he adjusts. Instead of circling clockwise like most people do to null the straight left he goes the opposite way and slips it like he would a jab to counter with a right hand over the top. His left is low for hooks to the body and he shoulder rolls only the right hook. The style is fine against southies because of how much confidence he has on his reflexes...anyone else gets clobbered all night.

That stance is an offensive stance for Floyd, If floyd wins this fight he has to earn it the hard way, fight every round.
That is why this fight will live up to the bill. Floyd will have to be offensive minded to win it. The thing is Pac is the best offensive fighter in the planet. That is his strong suite, FLoyd will have to play Pac's game. Advantage Pacquiao.Last edited by Spoon23; 04-27-2015, 10:19 PM.
