Floyds an activity stealer. Manny has not thrown those kinds of numbers in years and Floyd makes 50 punch a round fighters slow to 10. Roach needs to stop with all these press blurbs about magic right hands and secret training techniques. He's starting to sound like a guy that has no confidence in winning or a man trying to convince himself.

Manny hasn't thrown a thousand punches in a fight since Margarito which was a long time ago now. If anything his output has declined considerably, but then again his opponents have started to realise that you don't trade with Manny. Bradley did try to throw punches and I think threw more than Manny both times, but he was also on his bike a lot also. Thinking about it Manny seems to be more a 50-60-70 punches a round guy these days which is kind of ordinary. I hope Manny has plenty left in the tank, but he is an old fighter and has a lot of fights on those wheels. I am always suspicious of Mayweather, he wouldn't sign the fight unless there was some chink. I am wondering what that is as Manny even with an ordinary output is still extremely good. Is it the chin? Manny's legs? The declining output? He has clearly seen something and though not an intellectually gifted man, he knows boxing inside out. It has me thinking. There is always something. Mayweather isn't like Toney who will just fight anyone, he always looks for some edge. Surely he wouldn't just bite off more than he can chew?
All the talking definitely looks desperate. Floyd's legs are gone, Floyd's getting hit in sparring....why mention these things? It sounds like "Floyd is diminished and we need Floyd diminished because we can't beat the genuine article" if indeed Floyd is getting hit in sparring say Floyd looks better than ever and we will beat him anyway. It all comes down to tricking the public still. They can't use the "Floyd never could beat us that's why he ran so long" because Floyd knows the truth. These comments from Arum and Roach are supposed to look like they are messing with Floyd but Floyd knows whether or not they are true. They are all media talk and all bullshit.
Let's hope both fighters are at the best they can be now and we get a good fight and finally all Roachs and Arums lying can stop.
Don't know why people read so much into the Maidana fight... Maidana was bigger than Floyd and so was able to be fairly effective at walking Mayweather down and mauling him. Pac is the smaller man in this fight. Bullying Floyd isn't going to work for him and I foubt he can outmanoeuvre him either.
Manny can beat bigger men when they're slow and 1 dimensional like Margarito, Not sure he will be able to do so with Floyd.
My biggest questions for this fight.
1. How much will Floyd clinch when Pac tries to get in.
2. How much of it will the ref allow
3. If so, how will Manny deal with clinching.
If he can't hit with the free arm, then that punch out put drops right there. In other words; pac darts in- Floyd clinches.
Throws 110 and misses 107.![]()
