Comments Thread For: Roach on Mayweather's 50-0 Run: Pacquiao Had Better Quality of Wins

Floyd wouldn’t lose to a Jeff Horn level fighter either

Manny lost to Horn but not really. Biased (crooked?) judging.

[b Murphington]

I do because Manny never ducked anyone just to keep a zero in the loss column.

I wasn’t talking to you. Where did you come from?

Aside from missing Margarito and Paul Williams, who else should he had boxed?

Also I want to remind you that it is impossible to fight “everyone” in your era. Business, politics, or just bad timing can cause you to miss certain boxers.

Ducking or not, you can’t deny that he is just overall, a more skilled boxer than Manny is or was.

Some of you just hate on Floyd too much.

Manny was well on the way to beating Marquez very handily but he got outsmarted and the rest is history. Marques outfoxed Manny and set up the trap.

Being on his way to beating Marquez makes no never mind when he ended up getting flattened.
That’s like saying Zab won the first 4 rounds against Floyd, so what? Or Mosley rocked Floyd in the 2nd round etc … so what?
They got beat in the end. It’s a 12 round fight.

Are they setting up a rematch?

Otherwise should stop mentioning Floyd. He may be undefeated, but so are others. Did not deserve the win against Pacquiao.

Pacquiao has done things only he has. He is at the highest level. Mayweather is obviously lower.

Styles make fights. Floyd has that running style that beats Canelo's style. Pacquaio on the other hand would have gone head to head with Canelo and that style would have lost against Canelo.

Standing in the pocket and making you miss isn't running.

Floyd's style beats Canelo, Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, and just about any other fighter you care to name from that era.

boxing legends and boxing aficionados agree would agree.....

[pasawayako]

The only people that would disagree with roach are the one that under floyd payroll but if they aren't even his hardcore fans couldn't deny the truth....

[Dobyzhee]

Agreed. I think Floyd beats everyone on Mannys resume except maybe Margarito and Horn...laugh if you want but Floyd did NOT do well against dirty come-forward fighters like JLC and Maidana. Hatton was similar but he was smaller and Joe Cortez (ref) didnt let Ricky work. Had Ricky been allowed to hold and be dirty like JLC, Maidana, Margarito, and Horn were...who knows?

No way in hell does Floyd fight Horn in Australia..

[IronDanHamza]

How was Maidana bigger than Floyd?

Probably by outweighing by 17 lbs in the ring?

[djtmal]

Probably by outweighing by 17 lbs in the ring?

Madonna was prime when Floyd beat him right.

Why Floyd don't brag about beating a prime Marcos Madonna.

He should be embarrassed he fought this slow, short armed come forward guy twice.
