Comments Thread For: Roach Admits Spence Was Not His First Choice For Pacquiao, He Was Leaning To Mikey Garcia

Meanwhile Crawford is on the sidelines or fighting somebody else but not Spence. Boxing is FKD up with its politics--too many organizations making rules & promoters fighting for the best deals. Boxing fans grow old waiting for the big fights. BLSHT!

I don't know that Mikey would have been that easy either. Mikey only seems to struggle with larger guys that use the size advantage. Otherwise he's pretty defensively sound.

All he'd have to do is Clottey for 6 rounds, then turn it up in second half when Manny gases, and I think he'd have a shot.

Manny would beat the brakes off Garcia

That's Crawford's fault for "60-40 to me or NO FIGHT!!".

Don't hate the game, hate the guy not playing the game.

Let him get cleanly past his biggest threat and test, then maybe he'll have a case to be made.

I simply don't think so. Either you're underestimating Manny's slowdown or understimating Mikey. Not sure which.

Fair enough. Easy win for manny. Garcia doesn’t belong at welterweight. Not everyone can win titles in 8 divisions or so

Has nothing to do with belonging at welterweight, Manny's not a legit welter either bro!

He can't fight Spence like he fought Margacheato.

Cheato had no timing by that point. He was a sitting target. Spence is deceptively accurate, and he's showed that he'll gladly take punches to get in.

did you even read the article?? when pac fought marg, he was in and out, hitting then moving, etc... so you re saying manny shouldnt fight spence like this? lol

According to Paradigm Sports, they made a deal with MIkey! They seem to have a solid case. I hope this won't be another Wilder vs. Fury situation, and this fight gets cancelled at the last minute!

I think the court will do the same as what it did to JoJo Diaz recently. Old manager sued that Diaz set up Fortuna fight without them. Court didn't stop the fight but made Diaz give his old manager his management percentage (15%) out of his purse. I see the same happening again. Now does Manny still decide to fight if he has to give up 10-20% of his purse? I don't know.
