Comments Thread For: Roach: "Mayweather Has Never Been The Bravest Guy"

[BillyBoxing]

tell pac to fight with out catch wts. floyd has never asked for catch wts. thats all pac wants. pbf vs dlh@154. pac vs dlh@144 how great is he if he always has to dehydrate the other guy? also pac and arum were negotiating with clotty while pretending to want the pbf fight.

To fight Cotto at 145 is more fair than to fight Marquez at 144,ERRR...SORRY 146.

As for DLH,you *****s always forgot to mention Manny came from 135 to fight De La Golden at 147.
Easy to pick DLH and call it a mismatch and then after the fight come scream DLH was drained.
****!

complete rubbish. it had alot to do with weight seen as tho mayweather didnt even make the weight. If weight doesnt matter, why doesnt he fight david haye?

dont worry, *****s live in fairy tale land with leprechauns and unicorns and fairy dust. To them floyd does no wrong.

Honestly,it is hard to rate a guy like Cotto (currently)who has lost by ko in 2 out of 4 of his last fights,and looked like **** against the 1 out of 2 he won.Do you really believe Cotto can beat Floyd? Do you believe a flat footed Berto (who got a gift against Collazo)can beat Floyd? Even Margarito doesn't bring much-he's slow as hell,plods forward and fights the same style as any other fighter Floyd has beat-what does he bring different to the table?
Out of your whole list,I believe Williams can pose a few problems with Floyd,but even then-if Williams fought like he did against Martinez-he would lose against someone who has good timing and can keep distance.What tall fighter chases the shorter guy,gives up his reach,just to get tagged???

leperachauns, pots of gold at the end of the rainbowe.... floyd can beat this guy and that guy, he is the best, no one can touch him. you live fairytales. you would'v could'v guys are funny dudes.

So you don't think DLH was shot and drained for that fight?

I gotta agree.

You don't need to report everything Roach says.

not even just that, but the dude will say something, then a couple days later, say the exact opposite.


i know the dude is old and has a disease, but it's about time somebody hits this guy in the fu--in' mouth.

Your damn right.For the Oscar vs Manny fight Roach n company made crazy demands.A million or so dollars for every pound Oscar came in on the scales over 147lbs.On top of that Roach put in the contract that Oscar was not allowed to rehydrate over 147lbs on fight night.All that and the fact that Oscar was at the end of his career and hasn't fought at welterweight in over 8 years.Somethings wrong when Manny comes into the fight weighing more than Oscar who is at 5'101/2".DLH's body was shot before he even stepped into the ring.On the unofficial scales the night of the fight Oscar got on the scales and with all of his clothes and sneakers on was barely 147lbs.Roach even said that when the two fighters came to the center of the ring he seen blood still coming from where the IV mark on DLH arm was.Thats when Roach was sure Oscar had no chance that night.
About Cotto vs Manny.Why is Manny willing to fight Clottey at the full welterweight limit but 1 fight before was NOT willing to fight Cotto for HIS title no less at the full weight limit of 147lbs.It's known that Clottey comes into fights at welterweight heavier than Cotto does.Well over the 147lb limit.When i say that Roach n his team choose when and when not to throw in the demands,this is exactly what i am talking about.They wanted to make sure of mannys chances for the seventh world title.
Manny said in an interview when asked "why he in the fight with Cotto layed on the ropes and invited Cotto to come in and take shots from Cotto".Manny replied with "well,before the fight Cotto kept saying he is the bigger stronger man,and i wanted to prove him wrong and show i was the stronger bigger man".Well how i see it is Roach and Manny did a hell of a job convincing Cotto and his team that Manny was the smaller man before the fight i will to you that!.Roach kept saying "Manny can barely make the 147lb limit".."It wouldn't be fair if we let Cotto get on the scales at 147lbs"...Thats all BS man.Thats to get into these fighters heads and have them saying to themselves,I am the bigger man,this is my division,and they take chances like Cotto did and then they get caught.I mean i am not saying Manny is not a good fighter,he is...Thats my whole point.Manny gets an advantage that he doesnt even need.You seen how Cotto was doing very well against Manny untill Cotto tried to get to crazy and took unnecessary chances and got caught because of Mannys punches in bunches from all angles style.Strategy is fine with me coming from Roach and team but dont say that Floyd jr ducks fighters and such when Manny and Roach do the same type of **** with the picking of whom they will fight at what weight and with what demands.
As a boxing fan...Do you realy feel that Manny can beat Mayweather???Not answering from your heart but with compairing of the two fighters styles,skills,defense,everything.Who would win???Let me know...

It's double standards...With Manny,in negotiations,he wants to play victim by saying he is the smaller man,but then keeps these "bigger" men shrunk down to benefit himself- he ALWAYS gets the advantage in the fight starting with negotiations,otherwise the fight is "called off" or "dead" in attempts to force the opponent to give-in to whatever Manny wants-whether it's the lions share of the money and the physical advantage.This is why fighters need to stay in their own respective weight classes if they feel someone will be too big-it's pointless watching his limited opponents in the first place,let alone exploiting them in other ways...

It don`t matter cause Oscar was still weight drained.They should have let Oscar come in at 150 and the Roid user could come in at what ever weight he wants.

Being that Floyd has never lost, or even come close to losing for that matter, makes it hard to see how anyone can beat him. He's faced every style there is out there, and has come away with flying colors. Pac on the other hand has been outboxed, and knocked out.

LOL @ the guy who thinks Manny "would've or could've" beat Mosely or Mayweather or any other fighter with a right hand who isn't shot to ****.

anybody will tell you, it's much easier to put on weight, than to lose weight....it also wasn't just the "losing" aspect of the weight in that fight with oscar. it was also stipulated that oscar had to be 147 or less at the weigh-in, and couldn't rehydrate over 147 for the fight.
