Comments Thread For: Roach Likes Pacquiao-Marquez Trilogy, Foreman Warning

[Tomasio]

It's the only logical fight..

The only fight of real interest out there for "Don't take my blood sample"Pacquiao is Juan Manuel Marquez...I think the fight with Yuri Forman was bull**** from the get go, it was just a bluff to try to make Mayweather think Pacquiao & team were looking ahead & had other options...The same with the talks of fighting Malignaggi...Marquez & Pacquiao have a score to settle and is a fight that would sell, not as much as fighting Mayweather but right now it's the best option for Manny & the boxing fan..

I think thae fact that these fights are even being considered is a joke. Pac should stop being such a diva and get the Mayweather fight done.

[WESS]

I thought JMM was old and washed up after Floyd beat him.


If the fight happens Pac would win but he wont shut JMM out like PBF did.

IMO, Pac would probably get the UD this time around just because most likely its going to be at a higher weight (144-147) and JMM is older and slower (the same excuses we heard when Mayweather fought him).

Freddie Roach, trainer of Manny Pacquiao, would prefer to see a trilogy bout between his fighter and Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez. They fought to a controversial draw in 2004 and Pacquiao won a controversial split-decision in 2008. Marquez was on the losing end of a lopsided twelve round decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last September. Roach says people will still watch. [Click Here To Read More]

I would rather that pac fights timothy bradley.

[Wrighty]

I thought Marquez said last week that if there ever was a trilogy between him and Pacquiao that he would also want the olympic style testing to be done.

It's all a joke!

All the hatin' on both sides is hysterical. None of you realize that:

1. GBP, Top Rank, Mayweather, Pac Man don't care about us. That's why the fight will happen in a casino, instead of a major arena. They all are laughing to the bank....

2. PacMan is being a spoiled baby, and tarnishing his legacy, even though I think he has always been clean.

3. Mayweather bought his way to the marquez victory....by paying for his extra pounds....

4. Top Rank and GBP are all up in arms only because they may be missing out on a pay day.

5. This fight is so anticipated? When was the last time mayweather fought an exciting fight? WAKE UP!

[WESS]

I would rather that pac fights timothy bradley.

Same here but if he wont fight Mayweather at least make it a meaningful fight and go for the 154 belt and fight Yuri.

If Mayweather doesn't fight Pac, Floyd will fight the winner of Mosley > Berto. But that's just me wishing...

The whole M. Hatton I think is just a ploy to get the UK talking and in the mix (money) of things.

Very childish statement. Every boxing fans except *****s knows that Ugly weather is trying every thing to get out of the fight. Trying every thing to tarnish the legacy and achievments of Pacman. You illogical insinuation that Pacman refuses to fight uglyweather is comical, but on the otherhand is insulting to the intelligence of every boxing fans.

Actually you are quite wrong. I know they may not be dire hards, but all the casual fans I know who were looking forward to this fight see pac as ducking and possibly feel he juices due to him not signing the fight and taking the tests. I've heard them talk about a "great fight" and now just say pac is pathetic for not getting it done. Remember Floyd signed the weight clause that they thought he never would. By the way casual fans is what makes boxing money, if dire hards were the ones then most fights would make a lot more cash. So like I said from almost all the casuals I know, they feel pac is being the girl here, infact a lot of them thought he'd win the fight, hence why they're so mad.

I think Freddie Roach knows that if he n Manny take the fight with foreman at 154lbs it will expose the fact that they made a jerk out of the fighters Manny fought in the last two years.Manny and his team were just cry'n that it wouldn't be fair if Cotto came in on the scales at 147lbs,That Manny could barely make the 147lb limit.Now all of the sudden Manny can go up to 154lbs?
IF Manny does take on Foreman at 154lbs,i cant wait to see the demands they(Mannys team) make of Foremans weight even though it would be for his ligit 154lb title that he won at 154lbs.
As a boxing fan,i am not interested in Manny fighting for someones title at a catch weight.AGAIN!

The thing is this, a catchweight is something to make a fight possible with fighters between weight classes, not a advantage for a fighter to be making fighters slower or drained in order to being able to defeat them, that is why I donīt agree on Manny being P4P champ, one of my favorite fighters, but doing that is not right, how come you fight a ODH at 147 lbs because heīs a 154 lbs fighter, then you fight at 145 lbs against the champ for the belt, also if they would fight SSM they would ask for 142 lbs!!...ridiculous. If you canīt fight a figther in the weight limit the donīt fight him...

But thatīs just my opinion...I wouldīve liked to have seen the fight with no catchweight against Cotto, still Manny wouldīve won. Thereīs no need for that advantage if you are that GREAT.

Hey Roach! Maybe you didn't get the memo but Marquez is promoted by GBP and they've already said if Pacquaio is to fight any of their fighters, he must submit to olympic style/ random blood test. Leave the crystal-meth alone dude!
