Regarding the last time he saw Floyd training in the gym:
“Floyd ain’t been in the gym. He ain’t been in the gym. He’ll get in the gym but he ain’t been in the gym. I mean he’s going to train and get ready for the fight, he ain’t gonna slack from that but the whole thing of it is, no matter how much of a great fighter he is, when you keep taking time off, and taking time off, and you ain’t going to the gym, it diminishes your skills. That was just the boxing. It ain’t just diminishing Floyd’s skills. It would diminish any other fighter’s skills. You have seen when Ray Leonard came back and beat Marvin Hagler, right? Then he came back after another long layoff and he came back and Camacho whipped his ass. He came back and Terry Norris whipped his ass. What’s that tell you? That diminishes skills. You cannot keep taking layoffs, and layoffs, and layoffs, and think your skills are going to be the same. It ain’t going to happen.”
On whether he believes Floyd would be ready to fight Pacquiao in his next fight if he beats Victor Ortiz:
“Well I wouldn’t think he would fight Pacquiao right after fighting Victor Ortiz. I mean it would be crazy for Floyd to go in the ring with Pacquiao after fighting Victor Ortiz! Floyd needs fights. He needs to be active. Don’t get me wrong, Floyd is the greatest fighter out there, period. Right now in today’s boxing Floyd is the greatest fighter out there. But at the same time I don’t think that Floyd can do this. Floyd needs tune-ups like anybody else. It ain’t no different than any other fighter if you are going to compete with a guy who has been active all the time.”
On whether he believes Floyd would need more tune-ups after Ortiz before being ready to face Pacquiao:
“He’ll need more. It ain’t so much for Pacquiao, anyway. It’s more tune-ups to perform up to his level of performance. It ain’t so much Pacquiao as do you want to perform up to your expectations. You have to be active to do that. When you ain’t active you can’t do that. Just like what I told you about Sugar Ray Leonard. Yeah he got up for the fight for Marvin Hagler. That was the biggest fight that was out there. But what happened after that? What I’m saying is he prepared for Marvin Hagler because that was the biggest fight for him out there so he prepared for it. Remember, he fought a guy way smaller than Marvin Hagler and he got stopped. The thing of it is when you ain’t actually fighting, he looked at Camacho’s size and said this is going to be an easy fight. You know why I know that? You know why I know how he prepared for Camacho? Because he asked me! Before they ever fought he said you boxed Camacho didn’t you? I said, yeah. He said how was he? I said he wasn’t sh*t to me. I handled him easy. We never fought in the real ring because he already knew what time it was. I used to bake that ass every day. Boom! He asked me right before that fight. I ain’t had no problems with all of that but boom! But I guess he thought he would just maybe walk in there without training. That’s where he was at.”
Flomo agree with this or Roger talking sh1t as usual? :afro:

replace the @ with a , retards.
How do you guys thinks floyd will answer on the post figth when asked if he will be fighting Pac next?
I guess it will go like this..."I'm not thinking of it right now, i will just take a vacation again, man...i'm so tired running away from Ortiz, did you see it??? Damn, that's what i call entertainment not like that one-dimensional midget do...you gotta run away and tickle your opponent given the chance to make the fight exciting. Just take the test Manny, but in the meanwhile i'll be taking another long vacation."
well said pakyo, u always tell the truth :afro:

he said fmj hasn't been in the gym thats a surprise to me right there...
well i guess that throws out the theory that fmj is waiting for manny to slow down, especially if the gameplan is to fight two or three tuneups..
Roger said said he wasnt fighting Ortiz before it was announced so I wouldnt be giving to much credence to that its obviously an off the cuff comment , they will see how he performs with Ortiz and then make their next move ,
you kids love hanging on a word out of context , amazing how your brain works its just over run with hate that anywhere you can find something to have a go at , you believe or not believe based on your own agenda and nothing to do with fact or prior history .
My thoughts exactly, Roger just runs his mouth most of the time. Taking anything he says seriously will get you no where.
Actually, Roger was one of the first to comment that Floyd Jr was ready to come out of his vacation and expect a fight sometime late summer. When asked, Floyd Jr then said Roger had it wrong .... so after that they probably tried to get their stories straight and on the same page so that they don't "look bad".
Anyhow, Roger was correct on that!
yes to that...............the sad part is pac may be in retirement soon going into politics...
floyd will call him out of retirement, the rustier manny will become the better for floyd to fight him, manny will be the ducker if he wont take the bait :boxing:
Roger speaks like a trainer. He speaks the truth. Why would anyone argue this. Basically its what any trainer would have said.
Stop being childish.
yes to that...............the sad part is pac may be in retirement soon going into politics...
So Senior and Roger's words are gold now? Gotcha.
Those 2, Sr and Roger, told you Floyd fans that "Manny is on that Sh$t (PEDs)".
The rest of us said they have no proof and they are talking crap but most of the Floyd fans took their words as "GOLD"
keep playing the mayweathers mental games pactards
floyd train himself most of the time the guy make his gameplan himself before enter the ring
ROACH: " Ortiz will give us a good blueprint on how to beat floyd"
they should just come out and say they dont want no part of manny , their emabrassing themselves , flomo's ownage never stops
Floyd Sr has been saying that since the night of the Cotto fight in every interview he does. Most recently:
BC: I know that you have been asked about this over and over again but is Junior going to fight Manny Pacquiao this year?
FM: Man, all he got to do is take them test then we got a fight!
BC: There's already a video on another website that Manny Pacquiao said, he's going to take the full testing. Haven't you heard about it?
FM: I don't really spend time on the internet. Here's the thing, if he says he gonna take the test then I don't know what to say anymore. It's up to my son now if he will still take that fight. You know, just because this guy said he will take the test the promoters are still the ones who are going to handle it. Now we don't know what will happen with that one. If you gonna ask me I think that he should not fight. Let me put it this way, the people want my son to lose. Therefore, that's the only way he can beat him is because it's gonna be what the people want. You know what I mean? He wouldn't agree to the full testing now if there's nothing going to be behind it. He can't beat my son unless he putting something in there. But if it ain't what he putting in his body then there's something else. Why he got to say yes now?
"My son will never fight Manny Pacquiao"
Etc, and so on.
Different day, same sh*t

After the Ortiz sparring match, get ready to hear a ton about trials and taxes.
I wouldn't be surprise at all if that happens.
