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

[Gutz]

How dare Roach talk about bravery? Pacquiao always require his opponents get drained to fight him. He got Oscar and Cotto to fight at 145, and that's not bravery. That's cheating. The only fighter he didn't drain is Marquez who arguably beat him twice. I am not surprised that he prefers to fight a 147 when he fights a bull-like Clottey. I would love to see him fight Mayweather or Mosley, fighters who don't fight like bulls, instead a come-forward bull-like Clottey. Boxing has been reduced to pick and choose opponents and we can never know who is the best because the so-called top fighter never fight each other. Pacquiao would never fight Margarito or Williams either. It takes quality fighters like Mosley to make boxing exciting because they don't mind fighting anyone before them. I wonder why it is taking this long to make the Mosley-Mayweather fight. Is Mayweather having a second thought?

Welcome to Boxingscene.


Now GTFO hating Alt..

whatever only beats old shot guys.

That's your best retort? So what do you think of Mayweather taking on Mosley...the 38 year old that's only had one really good fight in years?!? Oh wait, Mosley is prime @ 38 since he's the WW champ and PBF's interested right?


But if Floyd doesn't fight him and pac does instead....he's an old man. Damn this ****s hard to follow.

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.
****!

Okay so you are saying Manny came from 135 to fight DLH at 147 and its all good but the sentence before you say Marquez fighting at "146" is not so fair? So what you are saying is if Marquez won it would be fair and if DLH won vs Manny it wouldnt be fair?

Floyd got beat by castillo, and almost lot to oscar.

chris john is undefeated. j.cahvez jr is undefeated are they the G.O.A.T. it dont mean **** if you dont face no one. you guys live in fairy tale land. how can you beat someone without facing them.

If floyd got beat then you would be saying chavez jr and chris john are also not undefeted. You would basically be saying Chris John lost to Marquez. You could basically be saying every close fight that could have gone the other way is a loss. So you arent really making too much sense. Floyd did not lose his fight to castillo. It was a close fight that could have gone either way. Don't try to discredit fighters records. Then you might as well say Manny lost to Marquez both times. Great fights that were very close and could have gone either way but Manny got the nod. I doubt the floyd haters would say manny lost to marquez. If their theory on floyd losing to marquez is true then manny losing to marquez would also be true. So it looks like there is a myth debunked here lol.

I guess pacquiao isn't brave himself being that they both beat (delahoya, hatton, and marquez)

[dom329]

pretty sad when pac demolished the two best victory's on floyds resume better than he did . pac moved up 2-3 weights to do it. it goes to show the depth of floyds resume.

Styles make fights. Floyd outclassed Marquez which Manny couldn't do. Floyd beat DLH at 154. So what you are saying isn't really too relevant. It would be like saying Kevin McBride and Danny Williams is better than Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield because they KO'd him faster. Doesn't make too much sense anymore does it?

[dom329]

sorry KO'd Tyson faster

[dom329]

what are you talking about. pac has never ducked a challenge and now floyd comes into the picture pac is a ducker and floyd is the real fighter. if floy wanted this fight all he had to do was sign and prove to everyone like all of you claim how great he is. but he had to make this into a soap opera, classic floyd move. considering pac is at his 7th weight class i hardly see him ducking foreman.

Pac did take the weakest title at 135 so if you think floyd is a ducker than so is manny. I think both of these guys are real fighters who take risks in the ring. Floyd like his money but i dont really think he's afraid of anyone. Manny likes his money too as you can see in some of his prior negotiations(look into hatton negotiations.) So no reason to say either one of these guys are not real fighters.

Floyd is already one of the greatest ever. Roach wasn't prepared to face Floyd, that's why he'd contemplated about facing him on September.

aparantley if u are a ******* its very hard to follow, mosley is an exception i shouldnt even have to explain this, but mosley is 38 but in ring years hes all there, vargas aint even 30 and hes all shot and worn out.cotto is 28 and he may as well be 50 hes all ****ed over. mosley has never been devastatingly beat or taken the type of punishment those others have.he soo good even at 38 pac dont want none instead hes facing clottey ,pffpfpfpfpfppfpfpf
