Comments Thread For: Roach Agrees, Pacquiao's Workrate Will Beat Clottey

[imscythe]

Shane is still a live wire and is tougher than all of Pacquiao's previous
opponents even Cotto who was a done deal bout time Pac got him
because of his lack of a proper trainer and corner. Mosley annihilated
Margarito and I think would do it with or without plaster because
Mrgarito is so easy to outbox with a good strategy and or game plan.
Arum and Roach are basically saying "Look we know who is going to
win" so in actuality, Pacquiao is doing what his fans and supporters
and many others accuse Mayweather of doing and that is picking
on guys who he knows he can beat. Can't use the excuse that
Clottey is a tough opponent for Pac anymore because Arum and
Roach don't even believe it. I don't think Pac would EVER step in
the ring with Mosley because for 1, Pac said it himself and 2, I saw
an interview where Roach stuttered his ass off when he was asked
about Pac fighting Mosley. Don't know why people give Floyd so
much **** about fighting Mosley when atleast he tried before and
is working towards it now and Pac NEVER did and perhaps NEVER
will.

Pac did not want to fight Mosley at that time since Cotto is available. If Pac fought Mosley instead of Cotto, a lot of people will be saying he beat an old over the hill Mosley, that's probably why they picked Cotto since he's young and excuses are far more lesser for Cotto if he lose, and indeed he lose.

Well, if I remember correctly you chose both Hatton and Cotto over Pac. You had very good reasons and your breakdown of the prefight was good. The reasons you chose both Hatton/Cotto over pac would beg to disagree on the bold. Roach maybe stuttering but could it be Parkinson's? The last stuttering I saw was Floyd with Mosley , ringside , post-fight Jmm.

good scraps

We will eventually get that Pac v Mayweather fight, no doubt in my mind, so let's revisit it come May 2nd. For now I 'm excited about both fights, especially the possibility of the May v Mosley. That my friends should be one hell of a scrap. I personally believe Floyd is the most gifted boxers out right now. I just want to see him in a challenging fight. The Mosley fight is for the welterweight crown plain and simple. For all the crap I give Floyd for not fighting the top welterweights, I think it's also important for Pac to build a resume in the division and Clottey is no push over like everyone wants to believe. You would think everyone has gone crazy since the Pac v FLoyd fight fell through. "Clottey is a B fighter", Clottey sucks". Shut the hell up. Who has even come close to beating Clottey convincingly, in all honesty? Everyone neeeds to stop swinging from the nuts of these two guys, and enjoy the fights. If they both win we will have all the hype and build up we need for the fall, in a match that Floyd will win easily on points in the most disappointing superfight ever, and boxing will wilt into the grave once more. No but really fellas, these fights should be fun, and you will all be watching, as will I.

FUNNY YOU FAILED TO MENTION HIS LOSS TO BALDOMIR...THE SAME GUY MAYWEATHER WON EVERY ROUND AGAINST!

You don't read too well I guess.



Not to mention that it was SARCASM, for about the fifth fucking time.

Yeah, true boxing fans only care to watch one fight a year. And Clotty is a bum. He's got, what, 3 losses? Against fellow bums too.. SD against Cotto, decision loss to Margarito (I don't give a **** that he had a broken hand), and a DQ in a fight he was "winning" against Baldomir, who is incidentally the great champion who the messiah Floyd dethroned.

Real fighters have no losses, regardless of whether or not they actually fight anyone. This is why Floyd is the greatest ever.

Fucking dumb****s.

You made a good point. I definitely thought Hatton/Cotto would
be too big and strong for Pacquiao because Manny was untested
at the higher weight classes but he did his thing and to that I am
sincerely humbled BUT Mosely I feel would be a tougher fight for
Pacquiao because when was the last time Mosely been beat bad
or knocked down? Vernon Forrest and that was YEARS ago.
The video I am referencing to is one when the interviewer asked
Roach about Mosley fighting Manny and I swear he bitched up
big time. I am going to find it and post it soon. All in all if this
fight gets made there shouldn't be no excuses because Mosely
is a top fighter at 147.

Not me. All of, or most of you know me and whenever I picked against
Manny and he won, I manned up and gave him he just due and props.
I think the thing that hurts Manny wins to a lot fans in the sport is
the fact that Roach down plays them before Manny fights them. Like
for instance, Roach said Oscar couldn't pull the trigger, Hatton would
get knocked out in 2 rounds, Cotto wasn't the same fighter after
Margarito AND now Clottey is too slow for Pac. So in actuality,
Roach made Manny look like his opponents were cherry picked.
The only opponent Roach said was a hard fight for Manny was
Floyd and guess what? That fight didn't happen.
