Roach: "Floyd is fragile and over-rated and Pacquiao will surely cut him to ribbons"

[S A M U R A I]

Come on man. You going to honestly say that after what happened last month and the enourmous reception he got in england? It was bannanas, even people in england posting here were shocked at the reception.

It's not even like that. There were a few hundred people who turned up to an open workout in the busiest city in England. Next thing you know, some idiot sports reporter is saying Floyd would sell out the Wembley Arena. Basically, he was making out as though Mayweather is bigger than Calzaghe and Hatton in the UK. I have never heard such a load of crap. The biggest Calzaghe and Hatton fights were approx 50,000. Does anyone honestly think Mayweather could sell twice as much? Mayweather isn't all that popular in England. It's media hype.

Because he carefully picked them.

David Diaz ain't ****.

Oscar was a mortified skeleton.

Hatton was already tenderized.

Floyd

Cotto = DUCKED

Margarito = DUCKED

Williams = DUCKED

Baldomir = B class robotic fighter

Zab Judah a mental midget

Gatti = B class fighter

Out of prime Oscar

Skeletonized Corrales

....I talk to two different people, one on here in PM, and another on an international call, both of them said an entire section of west london was shut down while he was there. I believe them over you.

If getting gift wins over JMM...cherrypicking the sorriest lightweight...and a pair of Mayweather's LEFTOVERS makes you fighter of the decade...then that's just one big joke.

i see how you voted then, in the minority...once again showing the donkey. majority rules my friend. next.

i'll only believe this when jmm KTFO mayweather...

[djsygo]

all that arum really wants is to cash in on Cotto and Manny before both lose again. Especially before they both lose to Mayweather. He wants a winner from them to make some money before that guy fights Mayweather.

Yea Mayweather "destroyed" his opponents in his wins over DLH (split decision) and Hatton (10th rd KO). LEFTOVERS Lmao what a joke!!!!!! Hell the ringpost did more damage on Hatton than Floyd himself!

If Floyd Mayweather Jr. insists of getting the lion’s share of the money, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum may opt for Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico as the probable opponent of Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao.

"Mayweather is taking the position that unless he gets more money, there will never be a fight, that's absurd," Arum told the British press. "Manny is the most sought-after boxer on the planet. If Mayweather persists with this position, a fight will never happen."

Arum said Cotto, who also fights under the Top Rank banner like Pacquiao, appears to be a more viable
foe most especially if he wins against Ghanaian Joshua Clottey on Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila) at Madison Square Garden in New York.

"If Cotto beats Clottey that's just as big a fight," said Arum, noting that Cotto has a tremendous following
among the Hispanics, making a match-up with Pacquiao as sure box-office hit.

Pacquiao gets to size Cotto up close and personal as the Filipino will be in the Big Apple for the 84th annual Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) awards on the eve of the fight.

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said he prefers the brash Mayweather for Pacquiao over the other names being mentioned since he doesn't only commands big money but is the easiest to defeat compared with Shane Mosley and Cotto.

Roach said Mayweather is "fragile and over-rated" and Pacquiao will surely cut him to ribbons.

Mayweather, however, has a big test to overcome on July 18: Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico.

What if Marquez scores an upset?

"Then, we'll fight him (Marquez)?" said Roach, who plans to convince Pacquiao to wait until the third week of July before making a decision as to who to fight next.

Arum said he will be compelled to move the Oct. 17 fight to Nov. 14 if Pacquiao delays his decision to name his next opponent, something Roach is comfortable with, saying he doesn't mind waiting up to December as long as it is Mayweather.

Meanwhile, Pacquiao left for the US via Northwest Airlines Friday morning to grace the BWAA banquet at the Capitale. Pacquiao, wife Jinkee, Canadian adviser Mike Koncz and lawyer Franklin Gacal boarded the 8:10 a.m. flight to New York with a stopover in Tokyo.

Pacquiao had initially decided to skip the event but changed his mind on the urging of his advisers.

Pacquiao, who knocked out Ricky Hatton of England in his last fight on May 2, could be back in the country by Monday or Tuesday although the Los Angeles Dodgers have booked him to appear for a ceremonial pitch on Wednesday.

To be honest I can really care less if this fight happens. Give me a Cotto Vs Pacquiao or Mosely Vs. Pacquiao at catch weight of 144 and I think these 2 fights are better then a Mayweather fight. There easier fights to make and it's less drama and Bull****! Mayweather ant going to budge so fuuk it...Go with Cotto or Mosely. Mosely is more then willing to wheel and deal and Cotto shouldn't be a big problem either.


Mayweather better realize he's been out for 2 years and things change. He can't just come back and demand a 40/60 split to the Pound4Pound best fighter in the world and think that's going to fly. Pacquiao is the man right now and he deserves the lions share. If Mayweather can't except that then he can go fight another cherry picked oppnent.

Freddie Roach is good for boxing. He is the truth. I still think Mayweather will beat Pacman though.
