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

[Ray*]

random testing was their excuse to get out of the fight? lol. who demanded those MAYWEATHER DRUG TEST STANDARD? hahaha

Well the test was there from the beginning of the contract!!! And it was the only demand made or requested by Team Mayweather according to all media outlet, Roach talked his way in the fight for March when they were not ready, I repeat it was ****** of him and Pac to even want the fight for March that doesnt mean they are scared of Mayweather NO WAY and far from it but it was toooo soon and they need to be ready physical and mentally and i believe they realise that wouldnt be the case if they fought Mayweather in March.

Mayweather seems to have several defensive strategies and techniques, once you see how and when he employs them, he can be countered and set up like he set people up. Like that lead right and duck left thing he does after walking backwards leading people into the punch. Anticipate the punch and counter with the left hook and lean throwing over his right and he will already be on his way to leaning to his left and will be knocked off balance, likely a kd. Step to your right, blocking the left of your face and throw a counter uppercut as he is ducking into it, Manny is fast enough to get away with it too.

It all sounds good but is Manny skilled enough to pull it off? Remember FMJ is not a come foward fighter like his last 4 fights.

all talk because pac will never get in the ring with mayweather. pbf will slice this one dimensional southpaw to pieces with his accuracy. easy work for mayweather.

Roach stop it Manny don't want to fight Floyd and you don't want him to fight Floyd either and niether does Arum

Floyd just has the whole Team Pacquiao shook they know what it is

[check hook]

Suuuuuure Freddie Roach! Pacquiao wanted Floyd in the worst way
but he didn't agree to the bull**** random tests 14 days before the
fight. This only confirms that Roach and Manny felt like they weren't
ready for Floyd just off of the simple fact that Roach is studying tapes
of Floyd? Doesn't Pac have a fight with Clottey coming up? Only a
utter and complete Pacquiao bandwagoner or Floyd Hater will deny
that Pac didn't want to fight Floyd as early as March. **** is written
there in black and white. No matter what they say, still don't see Pac
beating Floyd. Just when you think you got Floyd figured out he
switches his game up at the drop of a dime. Roach didn't think
Manny's style now, that he dominated Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton and
even Cotto (Who so many say could have beat Floyd) was good
enough to beat Floyd? What the hell is that telling you? Pacquiao
will get beat when/if they meet.

Shawn Porter's father insinuated as much....

They didn't want Floyd in March....Roach never wanted it that early.

[check hook]

well mayweather is an awkward muthet***a to learn, as he's a smart bastard, n I swear roach said they'd need longer anyway? There's no shame in that tho

You are tight there is no shame....they should have just come out and said that....instead of posturing and talking **** about Floyd dosen't want it in March, Floyd is scared, Floyd this, Floyd that......if they wanted it they would have accepted a 14 day cut-off and i don't see how this fight will happen unless Pac agrees to the 14 day cut off...

pac team knows that there was a drug test but didn't specified in the contract that it was an olympic style and just brought up by floyd team after all the conditions are agreed, don't you think that the fight hasn't been signed when floyd didn't demand those test?

[check hook]

you can count on it pac will humilliate floyd but we will never find out because floyd will do everything to dodge pac.

You mean we will never find out because Pac will do everything to dodge random testing.....??? haha

i dont think its that easy to see Floyd punches coming, to the point of even countering them. His feints allow him to hit you with the straight right flush, because you were expecting his jab to the body.
