yeh i gotta feeling floyds gonna have to juice or pay of the judges in this fight or he will back out with a fake injury because there is no way floyds going to beat manny .
Lets..Most observers who understand boxing would agree that Floyd lost the first Castillio fight. The secound fight he won.No doubt there..Floyd made Corrales fight at catchweight.Corrales was so drained that he looked exchausted after the 4 round..Canelo had to come in at catchweight and Marquez had to jump from 130 to 147 to fight Floyd who couldent make the 144 catchweight in that fight..Thats Floyd ladies and gentleman.Floyd also got rocked against Maidana and struggled big time With him in the first fight.Secound fight was a little easier for him.He got rocked by a old and over the hill Mosley. fought to a spli decison against a over the hill De La Hoya. Floyd got knocked Down by Judha but it was not counted as a knock Down although it clearly was a punch dropping Floyd. Yes Floyd also struggled With Cotto and he struggled With Ricky Hatton. So there we go
agenciaLT Ok, reality check. Manny has not knocked anyone out since Hatton. He stopped Cotto but no KO. That was in 2009. Nothing since. He couldnt even KO Algieri for fuck sake. Now you think he will finish the best defensive boxer arguably in the history of the sport, who has never tasted canvas, was hit solid by Maidana who is stronger than Pac, and all the sudden you think Floyd will just get KO'd inside 5? lol You people are crazy.
#d avenue this exactly what I'm talking about flomos or pactards saying stupid shit dude really there will not be no dominated in this fight Floyd and manny are the best in the game alive now it will be a 50 50 fight and anyone think is going to be a blowout ya smoking crack stop sucking on them cheeseburger I got manny winning the there's two reason why first I hate that motha second manny will be able steal some rounds by movement footwork in and out but won't be surprised if Floyd pulls it out either but this knock out sleeping bro this shit happened 3 years ago and manny stills has the balls to go back fight Marques again that how much warrior he is that why he got drop he takes chances
I really do respect Roach and his boxing knowledge, but not always will I even pay attention to what he says before the fights, for he always likes to amp things up and build more hype while trashtalking. But boy, when talked about how Floyd says he trades more know 'cause he wants to give the fans what they want... holy... he nailed it. I've been saying that for years now. Floyd has aged, his legs aren't as durable. That doesn't mean he's easy to hit, I mean, he has perfected it for a reason. Yet, Pacquiao's angles, stance and speed will trouble Floyd. I still give the edge to Floyd, for he has slowed down less than Manny and hasn't been in so many hard fights, but Pacquiao has a big chance and if Freddie is able to pull this "master gameplan", Manny could very well pull it off. 60/40 fight in my book.
I don't rate Roach like others do as he has never taken a boxer from scratch and made him great . He got Pacquio Cotto Khan etc when they were already great boxers in fact since Khan has left and gone to Virgil Hill hes has become a better fighter. So for me roach is overrated as a trainer. Mayweather Sr can say he made Floyd who he is from scratch and so I rate him far higher than roach
I kind of agree whit u, top fighters get to a point that they don't need a coach you think Floyd needs roger or his dad what can they teach Floyd he don't no already,
Roach: Floyd likes to set traps. Me: You don't say Roach: Manny won't fall for it. He hasn't failed me once. Me:So why did Manny keep falling for Marquez's traps and straight rights in all 4 fights? Roach: See Ruslan doing ab work? Me: Yes Roach: Doesn't he look pretty? Me: ...........
Every fighter has that one style that's nearly impossible to look good against. An aggressive, high volume risk taking counter puncher is pacquiao's kryptonite. Does floyd fit that description, hell no.
manofmywords240 If Cotto was shot why did Manny drain him and if Mosley was old why did Manny duck him and instead fought Margacheato then waited a year after Floyd beat him to fight Mosley
MR SLEEPS manny didnt drain him, cotto weighed 146 against clottey, that means he could make 145 with almost no problem but when manny gives him a legit beating, then cotto was drained.... also, cotto was in his prime, the cotto mayweather fought was older and was beat the shit out by margarito and pacquiao..
that's exactly what I felt like.. seems like Manny is a little over confident and thinks he'll be beat Floyd pretty easy. I believe he'll get desperate when he will miss a lot of his shots and Floyd will take advantage of that in the fight!
***** Yes he does sometimes. Freddie Roach said Manny was cracking jokes before the first Morales fight also. Manny said he underestimated Marquez before the third fight. He has thought guys were going to be easy and he's in for a rude awakening come may 2nd
***** You're changing the subject. Manny has underestimated opponents and has got over confident which he said himself. He may lose if he underestimates Mayweather.
Shamyrl he got overconfident indeed, but that was not the overconfidence that damages (the one where you dont train enough and think your opponent is shit and when fight night comes, reality kicks in), it was just his killer instinct kicking in, he smelt blood and tried to go for the kill, marquez was clearly hurt, the round before and that round... he was in survival mode..
