Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao a Much Better Boxer Than Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Matching skill to skill, Hall of Fame coach Freddie Roach says WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is a better boxer than Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao faces Mayweather, with the WBC/WBA belts at stake as well, on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Roach, who trains Pacquiao, says the Filipino boxer has been groomed over the years with careful teaching and instruction - while Mayweather more or less trains himself, says Roach. He feels Mayweather "has never had a coach."

Floyd barely uses the shoulder roll vs southpaws, WTF is wrong with Roach. He is setting his guy up for a big fall. Dude is acting like it is him that will be fighting May 2nd. Manny's whole camp needs to just STFU and focus on the fight.

Roach is getting under Floyd Sr. skin, it is working, watch when he replies he is going to get get all emotional. But the problem with Roach tactic is it will not effect Floyd because like Roach said Floyd basically trains himself and just uses his uncle for mittwork if you watch the corner Floyd does what he wants to do he doesnt listen to any of the instructions there really isn't much technical instruction Roger or Floyd sr give anyway during fights.

But Roach is tripping hard, if Pacman was so smart at recognizing traps how come he didn't recognize JMM setting up the right hand off the back foot? If Pac was so smart he would have adapted to that right hand he had 4 fights to do so.

Pac is one of the strangest boxers ever, he is brilliant at taking away or adjusting to a jab, but he cannot avoid right hands, Floyd will just back up and unleash the right hand like Marquez did and Pac will walk into it every time.

If Pac is able to counter the right of floyd and counter him I will be blown away and shell shocked, I would throw cold water over my head if Pac is able to hang with Floyd in terms of boxing and out classes him. It would be unreal and almost unbelievable,

Also Floyd rarely uses the shoulder roll agianst a southpaw so that goes to show Roach hasn;t really figured out his style unless he is witholding that from the public.

I think pac and floyd fans can agree that roach is smoking on something and should be banned from speaking until after fight

Keep up the good work Freddie. We've been waiting 5 years for this kind of smack talk,and you're delivering,no matter how crazy you sound sometimes. Now if mayweather sr would just up his game a bit,this could actually be funny as hell.
