Roach is just clutching at straws. If the best thing he can come up with about Floyd's performance is that he thinks Floyd's legs have gone that tells you all you need to know about what he really thinks of Floyd's performance.
If the fight does happen, and I think Manny will never go for it now, Floyd will just box his normal style and probably win every round. Manny may throw endless punches and never quit against lesser fighters but after two or three rounds of being smashed in the face with Floyd counters every time he tries an attack he'll slow down and will spend the rest of the fight fighting at the pace Floyd wants to fight at. After seeing the Mosley fight there's zero chance that Manny will want to spend nine or ten rounds being picked apart and humiliated by Floyd. There's no way he agrees to the fight.
What we'll get over the next few weeks and possibly months is more bs from Roach and endless bs and obfuscation from Team Needle during any negotiations with the aim of getting as many people as possible in the media and among boxing fans to blame Floyd when the negotiations fall through.
