Will Roach throw in the towel?

[Pullcounter]

he was undefeated and a former belt holder at 147...you cant credit pacman and discredit floyd

Both get equal credit. Floyd got hatton undefeated, but pac got hatton at his best weight.

Let me clarify, Hatton isn't p4p elite, just 140 lbs elite.

No way would Roach throw in the towel. Pacquiao would have to be dying for Roach to throw in the towel.

LoL @ people that think Floyd will take any chance against Pacquiao's dangerous, random power. He's knocked down Marquez pretty randomly in their 2nd fight. He's KOed Hatton cold out of the blue. I highly doubt Floyd will take any chances whats so ever against a sharp shooter like Pacquiao. I see him on the defense heavily in the early rounds. Water out the fight to the later rounds and see if he can pick Pacquiao apart. The problem is though I see him giving up the early rounds just based on Pacquiao's activity level. Then he's gonna take chances in the later rounds where he will leave himself open for a shot. When Manny sees that opening, it's goodnight!

it will take a bit more than random power to beat floyd im afraid

If Mayweather stuns Pacquiao I just dont see Roach letting it go and allowing Pacquiao to fight his way out. Roach is extremely overprotective of this guy and I can see a controversey where Freddie takes the heat for an early stoppage. Pacquiao will not hit the canvas. Roach doesnt want to see it, The Phillipines will not want to see it and It will make a lot of boxing fans sick to their stomach (including myself and Im a fan of Mayweather.)

I just hope he doesnt do it too prematurely.

Though, I've had similar thoughts, in boxing anything can happen. Floyd may have an off night. But I won't bet on it.

What I honestly feel may be the case is, Manny will appear extremely slow against Floyd.

But that's just my opinion.

pbf isn't stunning anybody except for his nuthuggers when he loses or gets KTFO.

i say pac takes this one, after all these years of development, a lot of people still under rate this fighter, that is, IMO, because he still is currently developing, i say the pac who will fight floyd will be different from the pac that fought hatton. he already have the tools to beat floyd he just needs a good game plan. roach will provide the game plan and we all know pac follows them perfectly. i hope this fight does happen (but i prefer a pac-JMM III).

I'm a laugh when Mayweather puts a stoppage on the guy in your avi...

He won't stop Marquez. He'll be more than happy potshotting his way to a boring 12 round UD.

Please back up your opinions with some facts.

Roger Mayweather has never thrown in the Towel.

But Freddie Roach threw in the towel as recently as last month for his Filipino fighter,. My question is: will he do the same for Pacquiao or will he allow him to work his way out of it?

You don't think that Roger would throw in the towel if May was getting hit the way Pendalosa was against Juanma?

Hell yeah, represent VA, lol

I agree too by the way
