Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Only Wants The Best Opponents, To Fight at The Top Level

That's rich. Meanwhile scouting fighters coming out of car accidents, need to come up in weight, coming off surgery/layoffs, coming off a KO/Loss. Pathetic.

what a dumb comment... so anyone who fights spence after the accident is cherry picking him?? ... dumbbbbb!!!

If I am correct, Manny and Conor have both acknowledged there was a plan for them to fight so I’m not sure if Roach knows what he’s talking about.

from manny's mouth!!

"For me, money will follow but my concern is the fans, how to make the fans happy. I don't pick a non-boxer opponent. I want to pick the very best. So that we can claim that we are the best," said Manny Pacquiao.

Trying to slam a Manny Pacquiao resume is the equal of arguing that Mount Vesuvius did not really do that much damage to Pompeii. Sure you can make the argument. You are just going to look silly with just with a brief look at history.

He’s also said other things so while I understand you’re going to cherry-pick statements like this, both Manny and Conor acknowledged there was a plan for them to fight. To suggest otherwise is dishonest.

i dont think manny has ever said that there was a plan set to fight conor.... it was conor who put that story out...

If that was the case he would have been chose Spence instead of scouting out Conor and Mikey for a year.

But oh well, we have a great fight coming

What's with this newb fan thinking that a fighter losing means that any wins against that fighters has no merit?

When fighters take enough risks, they lose. They don't magically lose their skills or accomplishments when they lose their undefeated record.

This is why top guys are ducking each other. It is more important for boxers nowadays to be undefeated than face the very best competition available.

Thanks a lot, Floyd

Sir, thankyou so much for this. Hopefully this will actually hit home for people because what you just wrote holds so much weight to it.

The key is what Roach said preceding the comment " If Manny Wins " he wont fight a nonboxer......... that says if he loses he will fight a non boxer, we already know he was signed to fight McGregor before Connor got stopped.

This is BS when you fight the best and remain unbeaten, Floyd fought and beat the best of his generation his resume is on par or better than any fighter in his generation, any fool should understand you cannot fight everyone which opens the door for all the duck calls for every guy they don't fight, its fan BS.and it applies to every fighter out there.

The assumptions and connotations put forward from fans is so false in the real world it's a joke.
