LOS ANGELES – Despite his pristine 47-0 record, Floyd Mayweather “is not invincible,” according Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.
Pacquiao is facing Mayweather on May 2 in Las Vegas and Roach believes the US fighter managed to remain undefeated because he “chose and pick fights.”
“He ducked a lot of guys. There were three or four fighters he didn’t want to fight,” noted the 55-year-old Roach, who has been Pacquiao’s cornerman since 2001.
Roach said he doesn’t fear Mayweather and neither does Pacquiao, who is a 2-1 underdog in the scheduled 12-round welterweight unification bout at the MGM Grand.
“Mayweather was forced into this fight…he didn’t want this fight.”
Roach said Pacquiao has what it takes to knock Mayweather out and even if Mayweather is the favored guy, he is looking forward to seeing his fighter expose the 38-year-old Detroit native.
“Five years ago, we would have fgaced lots of problems with this guy but this time, we’re going to knock him out,” added Roach.
Pacquiao is in the thick of training and will actually kick off the sparring phase of his buildup this Tuesday.
Mayweather, meanwhile, is also right on target in Sin City as he reports say that he has been terrorizing his sparring partners.
as far as i am concern…i do believe in the skills of Freddie Roach as a Trainer…not so much in Bob Arum,saying t hat Pacquaio could knock-out Floyd…for the reasons that Bob Arum is a Politician fist before he become a promoter…NOW, back to Freddie Roach,as all of us had seen, when Freddie Roach said t hat Ricky Hatton will be knocked=out with-in the first three rounds and if possible in the 1st round…and Manny Pacuiao did knock=out cold Ricky Hatton in t he second rounds… and when Freddie Roach said tnat the PACMAN will retired Oscar ‘The Golden Boy’ Dela Hoya..and ndeed after the famous fight with Manny Pacquiao, The Goden Boy HAD retired from Boxing to become a promoter….needless to say more on Freddie Roach…except that when he says that there will be a knock-out in this fight…of course there will be a knock-out…such that you watch-out Floyd….for the reasons that you will be next to retired soon….
