Manny Pacquiao
’s trainer Freddie Roach has began putting the heat under come-backing Floyd Mayweather Jr, suggesting that the undefeated American will never fight his Filipino boxing superstar.
“Floyd Mayweather Jr doesn’t like to take chances when he fights,” said Roach, “which is why he’ll never be in the same ring as Manny Pacquiao.”
32 year-old Mayweather Jr 39-0 (25) will return to boxing on July 18 when he faces Juan Manuel Marquez. A win by “Money” Mayweather will leave him eyeing off 30 year-old Pacquiao 49-3-2 (37), who now holds the crown as the best boxer in the world pound for pound. A crown that Mayweather Jr held before he retired prematurely.
“So much for truth in advertising,” said Roach. “We all know who the No. 1 pound for pound fighter is and his name is Manny Pacquiao. They can call Mayweather-Marquez No. 1 but it smells like No. 2. “The fight stinks. Two counter-punchers waiting for the other one to make the first move is boring and proves nothing. If Mayweather wanted to prove he was the best all he had to do was wait one day to see who won Pacquiao-Hatton before signing to fight Marquez. You might as well rename him Fraud Mayweather Jr.”
Sandy,
For his LW fight with David Diaz, Pac was 147 on fight night. Stop trying to bubble wrap manny.
and david diaz was 148.
castillo use to come in at 155 at lightweight.
that's how boxing is now.
guys put on 10 , 15 , 20 or more lbs. after weigh in.
Its pretty obvious that the only reason Floyd came out of retirement was because there were new 140lbers and below to fight, namely Pac. The fight will happen. Its not like he would have returned if the only fight out there was Cotto or Pwill.

Quisqueya,
What % of fighters rehydrate 10-12 lbs from weigh in to fight night? What % of fighters are like Floyd who hardly gain any weight from weigh in to fight night? If I'm bubble wrapping pac then 95% of fighters are being 'bubble wrapped'.
The only part of his body that looks like a WW are his legs.
:rofl: I noticed that as well.
it's gotta be a disadvantage.
imagine being a trainer and trying to get brian to move his head constantly?
gotta take a lot out of him. no wonder he prefers to just get hit in the face.
Well done PBF for coming out of retirement. Shows he wasnt just retired to preserve his unbeaten record. He is in danger of losing that against Marquez.
But if PBF loses to JMM. I dont really want JMM to fight Pac. 2 times is enough.
I want pac to fight Cotto or SSM.
His head is bigger than Mr boat buyer, so they are the same size. Viloria will open as the favorite. Flawless said so.
viloria and floyd are the same size. flawless told me.
mayweather-viloria.
make it happen.
only if viloria loses to ivan first of course.
if brian beats calderon all bets are off.
Pac shouldnt even be at jr. ww. He's more suited for lightweight. That being said people calling him a puss for not fighting true ww's is ludacrous. I think we can all agree this is more Roach looking out for his guy, After Pac's resume since 2003 i find it very very hard to believe he won't fight anyone. He's a throwback in that sense.
viloria has a huge head.
has nothing to with this thread or your post but i just had to get it off my chest.
