Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs Foreman May Be Next in March, Says Roach

[TOMA BOXIMG]

Freddie Roach is Punch drunk. We all know that fighting Yuri is too much of an

unecessary risk. If Manny were to lose to Yuri his leverage in negociating would go way down , way down. The upside is he gets another tittle and history but it still would not get him more in negiciating with Floyd. So the upside vs the downside is that their is too much risk and not worth it.

and you know its crazy to me because the pacfans are ok with Pacquiao fighting Foreman but try to hate when Floyd was talking about fighting Spinks

fight at the weight of 154 no catch weight Bull****!

If the fight were to go down no catch weight bull****! Fight at the weight or dont fight at all.

exactly and lot of them didn't really want to see this fight anyway.

Roach pissed me off and I usually don't get heated about this kind of stuff, but you ain't slick and I'm going to continue to call him out on this.

It makes NO sense to fight Foreman when the Mayweather fight is there to be made, no matter how long it takes. I wasn't really big on a May- Mos fight, given what stage Shane is in his career, but I would prefer Floyd and his team to just make that fight instead. I mean, its evident that he wants to fight Manny.

there is ZERO way that this would be at 54.

The question is how much will Foreman be weight drained....its shame he'll be putting his belt on the line for a catch-weight. I think we need another diamond belt up for grabs.

The bigger QUESTION is why is Floyd fighting a nobody when he should be fighting Pac in March ?

Its fine with me if Pac goes for the 8th Crown !

[RSBonos]

So they are gonna put Manny against a runner with fast hands and underated boxing skills????

Its not like this is even a legacy fight, Foreman's paper title means nothing and forget mainstream recognition, most boxing fans don't even know who Yuri is.

Just ****** all around. Fight JMM at least and settle the score.

Maybe Arum thinks that Foreman will revive the ***ish boxing fanbase of 50 years ago

Trainer Freddie Roach has confirmed BoxingScene.com's big scoop over the weekend, Manny Pacquiao may move up to 154-pounds to target a world title shot against undefeated WBA champion Yuri Foreman. Foreman and Pacquiao are both promoted by Top Rank. Roach, who will be in Amir Khan's corner this Saturday, told British press that Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn't want to fight Pacquiao in March, and Manny doesn't want to wait until May or June to fight again - likely due to a possible election run as noted earlier by BoxingScene's Ronnie Nathanielsz.

Am I illiterate... or did Roach just say last week that Pacquiao did not want to fight Mayweather in march?

fighting spinks would have been better than fighting marquez.
