Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Doesn’t Feel Extra Pressure To Win For Roach

[Brother Jay]

I have a feeling that if this fight is close like the previous 3, JMM will get the W.

The question remains as to what then? Pac vs Bradley II? Then Pac vs JMM V? Meanwhile will Bob push Rios up to WW for a Pac vs Rios fight after....

As much as JMM deserves a win, I don't want to see what happens after it...

Hahaha .. the truth can be funny too. Irony is wasted on the agenda driven mind.

Pac has such a cult following that Arum could put him up against Paul Williams tomorrow and Manny's legions would line up to see it.

Its great business for Top Rank. Its terrible for boxing itself and the fans.

Had anyone touted as a top boxer fought the last 4 guys that Pacquiao had chosen they would be ridiculed beyond belief.

Pacquiao is the boxing equivalent of Mitt Romney. He's an alternative to those who don't prefer their champions loud and flashy ... even though that has little to do with performances and should have even less to do with acknowledgment of the elite.

Just ask Ali.

you can't blame Roach for Khan not having a chin, Chavez drinking pot, Pacquiao running for office, and Linares for just plain ole sucking. its his job to set up a gameplan for fight night, it is the fighters job to execute it.

People are starting to drink pot now?!?

As opposed to...??? This is a **** statement

If Pac doesn't stop JMM he will lose....

This is EXACTLY why Pac selected Cotto as his first choice since losing to a JWW at WW, yet Bob couldn't force Cotto to fight Pac at some catch weight (again).

Pac knows he needs a fight that will make him look good and Cotto would have been just that. He's been fighting **** opposition at WW since fighting Cotto at a catchweight back in 2009 and when he's not fighting **** WW's he's forcing guys to move up.

It's funny as not one single cowardly pactart has even challenged the question when I ask; WHEN was the last time Pac fought a TOP 3 WW?

WHEN was the last time Pac fought a WW Champion?

WHEN was the last time Pac even fought a WW who was actually winning?

But hey let's keep talking about when Mayweather "forced" the FORMER WW titlist in Ricky "fatton" Hatton up to WW. Or when the fat Mayweather forced JMM up to WW while we talk about Pac fighting JMM III/IV/Bradley, Rios at WW. Double standards? Naaaaa, let’s just keep it simple, Bob never lies, Bradley is ducking Pac and Mayweather is scared.. Yeah that's simple enough!

Btw, good to see you back.

Pacquiao should try to win for Pacquiao, regardless if Roach has lost his last 5 big fights?

[WESS]

As opposed to what?

I think he wants to say Mayweather instead of fighting a loser in Clottey years ago. Maybe Mosley when he was the WW Champion. Maybe any top WW at WW?

OR if Pac felt he didn't want to fight any top WW's, "too small" Pac who has to eat thousands of calories to make WW could move down and fight JWW's...

Or is this only expected when Floyd fights "smaller" fighters at WW?

I think he’s just acknowledging that you're correct and shouldn’t make it so obvious about Pac’s **** run since fighting Cotto back in 2009 which is ironically why Pac wanted to fight Cotto again (at a catchweight again).

Also it didn’t look good that Cotto was just coming off a loss to Floyd which the pactarts try to forget, especially since Cotto was Pac's #1 choice after Pac lost to Bradley.

As opposed to what?

As opposed to what other fighter. You mentioned "Had anyone touted as a top boxer fought the last 4 guys that Pacquiao had chosen they would be ridiculed beyond belief". What fighter(s) did you have in mind?

I knew that was going to happen. You're quick haha! I didn't bring Money's name into this. You did.
