Manny Pacquiao boxing news
By Chris Williams: While a lot of boxing fans feel that possibly Amir Khan or Manny Pacquiao have the fastest hands in the sport today, trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. firmly believes that the fastest hands in the sport go to his son WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KOs).
Floyd Sr. jokingly says he would have the fastest hands in boxing if he were a little younger, but right now that title goes to Mayweather Jr.
While responding to images of Floyd swimming as he prepares for the showdown with Pacquiao, Roach reaffirmed his view that “Money” was pushed into the fight by overwhelming public pressure.
By Chris Williams: After seeing Floyd Mayweather Jr working out with his expert strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza in a pool workout on Monday, Freddie Roach, the trainer for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, thought it was somewhat amusing, as he believes that Mayweather and Ariza aren’t heading in the right direction if they want to beat the 36-year-old Pacquiao.
Roach sees it as a change in Mayweather’s normal training regimen, and he doesn’t see it as a move that will pay off for him.

By Chris Williams: If boxing fans were to create a poll about which of the two fighters – Floyd Mayweather Jr or Manny Pacquiao – had the better boxing skills and talent, it’s very likely that Mayweather would win the poll hands down in overwhelming numbers. However, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who just happens to be the promoter for Pacquiao, believes that Pacquiao has the better skills at this point in his career than Mayweather.

By Chris Williams: Nonito Donaire thinks WBO 147 pound champion Manny Pacquiao needs to use the same fighting style he’s always used when he faces Floyd Mayweather Jr in 26 days from now on May 2nd. Donaire thinks the best think that the 36-year-old Pacquiao can do is use his in and out attacking style, and look to use side to side angles to keep Mayweather guessing.
Donaire thinks the movement will keep Mayweather from being able to get comfortable in the ring to where he can time the Filipino star to nail him with counters like he always does to his opponent.

Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, says that the Filipino star hasn’t put much attention on who the judges and referee will be. Pacquiao is too busy training for his fight with Mayweather.
Other than his first fight against Tim Bradley, Pacquiao hasn’t been on the receiving end of controversial decisions. In three cases, Pacquiao was the beneficiary of two controversial wins and a controversial draw against Juan Manuel Marquez in their first three fights.
By Dan Ambrose: With the mega-fight between superstars Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao fast approach, Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is feeling very confident about Pacquiao’s chances to win the fight based on how good his condition is for the May 2nd fight.
Roach feels that Pacquiao won’t have any stamina issues in the fight with Mayweather. He thinks that Pacquiao will be able to fight hard for three minutes of every round for the full 12 rounds.
