FREDDIE ROACH has studied every single one of Floyd Mayweather Jr's fights.

But Mayweather's father and coach Floyd Sr claims he has not watched a single minute of Roach's man Manny Pacquiao.

The American and Filipino go toe-to-toe on Saturday night in Las Vegas in what is being dubbed 'The Fight of the Century' and their trainers came face to face ahead of the clash.

But elder Mayweather is not worried about studying the man who could end his son's 47-fight unbeaten record.

Mayweather Sr, who once shared a ring with Sugar Ray Leonard, said: "I haven't watched a single tape of him.

"He can't punch, we are not worried about it. I'm going to have Floyd walk his ass down."

The American trainer put on a performance of his own for the media as he made fun of Pacquiao's shadow boxing in training.

Mayweather Sr threw a flurry of punches to laughs from those in attendance and then started reeling off a rhyme that would have made Muhammad Ali proud.

"Freddie joke coach Roach can say what he likes," he said.

"Freddie knows what is coming. Floyd is the man to meet if you want to get beat.

"I'm the best, there is no contest I must confess. I'm the best trainer of all time."

Roach has warned Mayweather he can't run for 12 rounds, but the American's coach insists that will not be part of the game plan anyway.

He said: "I'm going to say this right here. My belief is that he might go forward more this time and I think he'll send Pacquiao back.

"He might move around for a minute, a round or two, but I don't think Floyd's going backward for too long.

"I'm going to be honest with you, I don't think it will be much of a fight."

Mayweather is the favourite to go to 48 fights without defeat, but Roach is predicting an upset.

And the pressure of defending his unbeaten record will be Mayweather's downfall according to LA-based trainer.

He said: "We like pulling upsets. People love doing things you aren't supposed to do and Manny is one of those guys.

"Maybe the zero on his record puts pressure on him, puts pressure on all his fights. But I am not really impressed by people undefeated."

Roach even believes Pacquiao's five defeats have made him a better fighter and a better man.

He said: "Losses make you a better person and a better fighter - Manny has been knocked out three times and he knows it is part of the sport.

"We don't let that affect us. When you hand pick and choose every opponent it's different.

"But we have fought much better people than he has and those losses were very effective for us."

Could that be the plan?


shyt I wonder if Floyd just sees how small manny and said I can walk him down

Just like with politics, people don't fact check sportsmen as well.

I don't know why Roach is fronting, acting like a lot of the boxers Manny has fought recently didn't just come up from 140 to fight at 147 for the first time or that they were coming off of losses. Let's not let facts get in the way of a good story though.

:blessed: my GOAT. As of late Roy says he doesn't make a prediction but he used to make predictions about the fight before it was made and he seems to favor Floyd back then just like he seems to now

I don't think roy can make a prediction since he's one of the commentators

keep hearing and reading about Floyd not being Floyd, talking in 3rd person, looking docile and mentioning he has lost the hunger etc..
Is this ploy coming from the spin doctors to balance the betting out?

Pretty dope breakdown......It is very true that Manny does get tagged a lot in his fights but he never has problems tagging them back BUT this is Floyd.....Floyd is not going to be there for those 5-6 combos he likes to throw.
