Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao vs. Naoya Inoue? Freddie Roach Would Love To See It, Believes It's Possible

[richardt]

This is Roach desperate for some big paychecks.

Maybe Freddie thinks it's 2008? No way is Manny getting down to 130 or below, nor will he still be competitive at a top level.

How would they see it it in a historical context?

as one of those mythical H2H fights just like people match up JCC and Duran

spotlight more so than a paycheck... roach been lonely these pass few years without the pacman at his gym. pacman training at the wildcard use to be a big thing for the fans and media.

Oscar moved down to 147 to face Manny and you guys loved it

Not this guy! You could tell Oscar lost the fight at the weigh-in! He looked awful! That was one of the saddest moments in Oscar's documentary, "Golden Boy!" Some of these guys just can't let go! "Ali vs. Holmes 2.0!" Father Time is undefeated!

Oh damn.

IronDanHamza is gonna tell Freddie Roach to pull up his skirt now.

Why would I possibly respond that way to what Freddie Roach has said here?

Of course. But Manny loyalists will tell you otherwise.
They say the same thing about the Cotto and Margarito catchweights.

It will remain a fantasy fight. Pacman was incredible in his prime. I think Inoue is technically better than Pacquiao, for sure.

I got some questions...
Is it gonna be an exhibition match?
Is Pac gonna cut off his shins?
Is Roach losing it upstairs or did he start a career in comedy?
