Freddie Roach will be in Manny Pacquiao’s corner, but he gave a pretty honest assessment of his pupil’s chances on the upcoming bout against Floyd Mayweather. He spoke to Fight Hub TV about it and he broke down the contest based on several categories.

Power: Manny

Speed: Floyd

Footwork: Manny

Stamina: Draw

Ring IQ: Floyd

Heart: Manny

Chin: Floyd

Experience: Floyd

X-Factor: Manny
