I think its funny how roach says Floyd is fragile,
I dont see manny landing half the punches that he usually does on Floyd, and I see Floyd landing more punches on Pac than he usually does.. Sure Pac won but Cotto busted him up good, I see Floyd just frustrating him and making Pac frustrated to start be wild and reckless which opens Pac up to the surgical carvings of Floyd..
I think its interesting that he basically roughed up Hatton for 10 rounds and then utilized none of his size advantages over JMM ans still pitched a shutout. Floyd will stick to gameplan, set traps and present a moving target, on the inside he will dirty box..
Wow we finally agree on something...I think floyd will keep him on the end of that jab, but it will more more difficult than JMM or Judah, simply because of two things.
Manny's left handed which means Floyd will lead with rights that will take him closer to manny. Secondly, when I was watching the Cotto fight after the first round, I said "If manny picks up his activity cotto will be in trouble"..This is what makes the floyd-pac fight closer than I thought before. Floyd is a victim of his own success and hasn't really been able to put three or more QUICK combos together. He uses the Roy jones strategy of pot-shotting. Floyd hasn't really had to move ALOT during a fight since the second JLC fight. So it will be interesting to see How Floyd will handle the jumping bean Manny Pacquiao once he starts to bounce.
