Comments Thread For: Roach: "Pacquiao Wants Mayweather in The Worst Way"

[-Reflexes-]

Pac has no chance. Floyd beats him easily.

[Stick & Move]

What Plan? two vial of this and two vial of that, taken at the right time. Bring some credibility to the table. Mr. Roach, I for one am sick of all the hype... Let's face it we are all getting older and at my view, I hate to see Money May fight anywhere again, Mayweather has a chance to valadate every fighter of color that ever existed, and there will alway be naysayers as with Marciano, Mayweather Vs. Marciano for the undefeated crown... validation will really bring the hype to boxing, give Mayweather a job with HBO and retire him undefeated.... I would love to see him and Lennox go at it....

I'm going to sorta back you up on this..

130-135 Floyd was a beast...

130-135 JMM is a beast.

140+ JMM sucks ass..

130.. Pac was a incomplete fighter. He didnt develop his right hand yet.
135-Pac we saw very great improvement with the Diaz fight but Diaz is not a true test.

140-147- Pac is in his prime.. he will wreck Floyd

Sure...... While Floyd was dominating the lower classes with both
hands Pac could only fight with one. Now all of sudden, Pac is
supposed to wreck Floyd? I'll believe it when I see it.....Oops!
forgot, Manny didn't want to prove his fans right because he
walked away from the fight because of some random blood tests?
hmmmm........ Such a minor thing to call off the biggest, RICHEST
fight of your career? Hmmm....... Why does Pac not want to take
random blood tests for? Strange don't you think? Why is Roach
studying Floyd's tapes after Pacquiao bailed on the fight? Could
it be because they needed more time OR they want to save face
by talking **** because they walked away from the fight? Don't
think they needed more time because if that was the case, why
would they fight Clottey on the same day they were supposed to
fight Floyd? Hmmmm...... The only thing I can think of is that
they DUCKED FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR! Live with it. If Floyd
did what Pac did, you would be saying the same thing about
Floyd that I'm saying about Pac, so stop frontin because I would
have said it about Floyd too because at the end of the day it is
what it is!! Read the sig.

You contradicted yourself. One party agreed to historical demand and conditions for the fight, the other didnt. The was there but as you said one party rejected it with no plausible excuse.Also, you seem intelligent, dont make yourself look dumb supporting the theory Floyd used ODT as a way to escape fighting manny. Its really ridicolous.

Try to understand what you read and not just look at the words. I specifically stated that Floyd did not systematically and intentionally asked for the ODT to kill the fight, but asking for the ODT did kill the fight. Furthermore, by your logic, Manny killed the fight by not accepting Floyd's demands, but you fail to realize that it goes both ways. By Floyd not accepting Manny's compromised proposal of 24 day cut off date, that killed the fight as well. I do agree that the 14 day cut off date that Floyd proposed was reasonable and Manny should've agreed to it. So again, just so you understand, i am not implying by any means that Floyd asked for the ODT to intentionally kill the fight, but by asking for the ODT, it did kill the fight eventually, because if both parties would've stuck with the standard test, this fight would be happening on March 13.

Floyd will open a boxing CLINIC and break Pac Maniac's hearts worldwide.

Floyd opens up a boxing clinic for lightweights and jr. welterweights only.

Honestly, I don't even know why Floyd is included in the Pound-for-pound list.

He's been a welterweight for years now and he doesn't have any of the elite welters on his resume (no Williams, Margo, Cotto, Mosley, Collazo, Cintron, Berto, and now not even Pacquiao)

His last two fights were with JMM (a lightweight) and Hatton (a junior welter) !

For the life of me I cannot figure out how this is pound-for-pound worthy !!!

Al Bernstein, Showtime Boxing Analyst:

“It seems patently obvious to me that Floyd and his minions killed the Pacquiao fight. The bottom line is that the fight was basically a done deal before they decided to inject the demands for blood testing into the picture. Pure and simple, Golden Boy and Floyd and his advisers created the problem, and it ended up killing the fight.”

Dan Rafael from ESPN:

"Mayweather shouldn't be making accusations without a shred of proof as he tries to discredit all of Pacquiao's great accomplishments, nor should he try to circumvent the Nevada rules by asking for blood tests when the commission has never asked for them."

[Bogig]

Timothy Bradley, WBO/WBC Jr. Welterweight Champion:

"No blood testing needed. I don't think Manny is on anything. He's just on top of his game right now."

[tudedude]

it's not the drug testing demands that killed the fight. It's the unfounded accusation of steroid use that led to unwarrranted drug testing demands that killed the fight.
