Freddie Roach wants WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to get a piece of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Roach is tired of Mayweather's trash talk on Pacquiao, and says his fighter is tired of it too. They are very angry over Mayweather's comments that suggest Pacquiao is possibly using performance enhancing drugs. Roach wants Pacquiao to get his hands on Mayweather so the Filipino champion can knock him out.
"We're not happy with his remarks and Manny really wants to fight him in the future because of the remarks he made," Roach said. "Manny, sometimes when he's shadowboxing, he shows me how Mayweather fights and how he'll take care of the problem, and I've never seen that before. He's trying to ruin our reputations and so forth, but we want to fight him and we'll knock him out."
Top Rank's Bob Arum doesn't think Mayweather ever intended to fight Pacquiao and used the issue of random drug testing to avoid the contest. Arum predicts Pacquiao would give Mayweather a very bad beating.
"We don't have to be geniuses to know what they were trying to do. They were trying to get into Manny's head so he'd be discombobulated," Arum said. "Mayweather against Manny is a no-contest, no contest. Manny would wipe the ring with Floyd Mayweather."
