Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Ready For Floyd's Big Overhand Right

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Manny Pacquiao is not the same fighter since he suffered a savage knockout at the fists of Juan Manuel Marquez, believes Floyd Mayweather's father and trainer.

Marquez sent Pacquiao crashing to the canvas with a straight right hand to bring a premature end to their fourth fight in December 2012 and plunge the Filipino's future in doubt.

Pacquiao had previously beaten the Mexican twice after their first fight ended in a draw but the six-round knockout had some questioning whether he would hang up his gloves.

The southpaw responded by claiming one-sided victories over Brandon Rios, Tim Bradley and Chris Algieri to finally secure a showdown with the undefeated American.

Mayweather Sr, however, who returned to his son's corner in 2013 following a 13-year estrangement, believes Marquez has left the Filipino southpaw's career on borrowed time. [Click Here To Read More]

Mayweather is taller than Pacquiao, so the overhand right makes no sense. It's the straight right hand, and then one of the most neglected punches in boxing, the right hook from orthodox stance that Mayweather will be looking to throw.

When floyd gets mugged, his out is that overhand-hook right. As long as Manny knows...

Manny's bouncing Floyd's timing is going to be the destruction of Manny.

I think it's the straight lead rights that will be more the problem if the timing get's locked in.

I'm not a 80 time trainer of the year, so what do I know.

I don't see him going for the right hook a lot against a fast, combination thrower like Manny. It travels slower and leaves him exposed longer than his preferred straits and the left hook.

Don't forget Floyd's left hook

Mayweather Sr. mentioned the uppercut to the body because Pac is so short he's might accidentally get clipped in the chin while Floyd is going for the body.

Tonight is the night. Believe me Manny will KO JR in any cost!
