    To be fair mate you had it perfectly spot on with your original assessment. Roach is blowing hot air here, if he actually believes that floyd is on the decline after that performance he`d have himself commited in a mental home.

    Hornfinger - pac will go toe to toe for 12solid rounds, he has done it with out and out warriors and mayweather aint a fighter. Floyds best chance against manny would be a performance not too dissimilar to saturday night. Take your opponent out of the game by making him come find you and fight him at your pace before eventually going through the gears and towards the end of rounds becoming the aggressor through sheer speed
    I stand by what I've said.

    I also stand by my opinion that I doubt the fight will happen.

    This was done purely to provoke a response. That's it. I think when it comes to head games like this, Roach is ten steps ahead of most trainers. I'm not saying that means Manny beats Floyd hands down, but Roach is alright with the head games. I thought he got into Cotto's trainers head pretty good. As for Shane getting old overnight, I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to take away from Floyds performance even if I do hate the guy. He got his bell rung and he made adjustments. I don't think Shane has slowed all that much. He just realized that while he's fast, Floyd is much much faster. And another thing, has anyone ever seen another fighter throw a nasty cross off the back foot like Floyd? I saw alot of moving the head back to avoid a punch, then flashing with that cross. Nailed mosely more than a couple of times with that.

    Floyd looked with a potential vulnerability for all the time Moseley had gas. Does it mean Pacman will automatically beat him? No. Just that the possibility it could happen is there and it has to be seriously considered. Roach is to me the best coach actually and I think that he's just trying to spread doubt into Mayweather's head. I just see that as a war of words and trying to play in the other's head seance. Floyd just showed he can get hit flush by strong blows by fast fighters, I don't think he lost his legs, especially as he never received a proper beating during his career.
