Roach: "Floyd Needs Pacquiao, We Don't Need Him"

[MOREBASS]

I don't see how some of you feel that Roach's opinion on Floyd has all of a sudden changed after watching that mismatch.


He predicted how the fight was going to go, along with most people with half a brain.


The only thing new we learned about Floyd was that he seemed to still be in tremendous shape, and that he is now officially a full blown welterweight, incapable of making any weight below 146.


He didn't show us anything we haven't seen from him before, and Roach has said on numerous occasions that fighting Floyd would be a fight he wants for Manny.


You guys are crazy if you think they are 'scared'. The only people who are scared of taking fights are people who are afraid of losing. Manny's lost before, and understands that it comes with the territory. Ya'll are hilarious sometimes.

Pac is going to get that ass whooped and I am going to make alot of points off of a lot of pinoys.

[TOBYLEE1]

Lets say Pac beats Cotto, if he is looking for a big money fight who else is out ther that would bring the money Floyd might bring him?

[PRINCSHERPY]

PACQUIAO doesnt need to overrated clown FRAUD BUMWEATHER.

FRAUD BUMWEATHER needs PACQUIAO.

But anyway PACQUIAO will knock his ass out!

END OF ****IN STORY!

LOL @ you getting your panties wet over some ****** internet points that do absolutely nothing in the real world.

U need to suck on ur lover gayweather.

Truth hurts.

Pac can fight any of the top guys and still make the same money fighting gayweather.

Pac doesnt need gayweather.

So gayweather better shut his mouth, bow down to Pac's wishes and maybe Roach will throw him a bone or something.

Pac will be the one who will dictate the terms.

If gayweather doesnt like that... he can fight Mosley instead which he's so EAGER TO FIGHT.

LOL first im a boxing fan not one fighters stalker, second all this gay talk like i said b4 u must really want to kiss him or even more lol. Look state boxing facts please or don't address me wit the gay talk **** cuz i dont have time for it. If u cant express ur self in a intelligent manner with facts to back ur oipinions then find a sport or gay **** site where u will make sense and fit in

Freddy's still the "joke coach roach...."

I'm very happy that Freddy Roach has NOTHING to do with any of Manny's promotion and decision making in regards to anything besides his training. He is very good at what he does and I'm happy he's doing what he's so good at. Manny needs Floyd and Floyd needs Manny right now. As I've written in previous posts. . . THIS IS A BUSINESS and the two top guys is WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE. . . Pacquiao is the little man who can seem to do the impossible by steam rolling bigger guys with his speed and tenacity and he seems to be becoming a better technical boxer and Mayweather Jr. is the guy who simply can't be beat. He's just that damn good. People have called for a Ricky Hatton type fighter, someone who will press him and take him off his game. But look what happened. They thought the Golden Boy had a very good chance to become the first guy to put a blemish on Floyd's undefeated record. Look what happened. All of Mexico was up in arms rooting for their man. All he received was the dignity of completing the fight.
Freddy Roach is doing exactly what he needs to be doing. Getting his fighter prepared for his next fight. And the guys who know the rewards of putting together such a fight in the right way will be doing just that. This fight not only will happen, it has to happen should Pacquiao be successful against Cotto.
A quick word on that fight. Cotto will be ready. He is not about to hand over a loss. That's just not him. Cotto has had a few surprises along the way as he's come up through the ranks. I hope his trainer "whom I've never heard of" (which means little to nothing) is really studying pacquiao. Is learning to cut off the ring and is keeping him ready to box also. Cotto needs all of his skills. For cotto to win a split decision isn't good enough for him. If Pacquiao wins a split decision, it will be very good for him. The fact that he beat Cotto will be enough to keep him as Pound for Pound best and signified as an all time great.
To many, should Pacquiao and Floyd meet if Pacman wins, he can retire if he wants to. If Floyd wins, to many, he was supposed to win. The curse of being great is that no matter what you do, it's never enough. This is the cross Floyd carries on his back. So far, he wears it well. It does make him a little sour at times in regards to him needing accolades but, his record remains in tact.

It's all about NUMBERS at the end of the day. They will match up PPV (and gate) numbers based on their fights with 3 fighters they faced: ODLH, Hatton, and JMM.

are you on crack?? Mayweather more than doubled pacs numbers!!!

[Sugar Q]

Forget about Freddie "the trainer" Roach. He's full of **** anyway. Bob Arum has already said Pacquiao "WILL NOT" be fighting Floyd next. They are clearly avoiding Floyd but Cotto's gonna smash Manny's ass any way.
