Comments Thread For: Roach: "Pacquiao Will Knock Joshua Clottey Out"

[photomane]

After two weeks of training camp, trainer Freddie Roach is confident WBO welterweight Manny Pacquiao will knock Joshua Clottey out on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. Roach has been looking at tapes on Clottey and he doesn't think the fighter from Ghana is really that good. He overestimated his worth the first time around and thought Pacquiao would win a decision. Now he thinks Clottey will get stopped in the last rounds. [Click Here To Read More]

Roach is talking crazy.

[disolly]

Totally agree my man. He keeps discrediting Pacquiao's opponents, so if they are so ****, how can he be the best fighter in the world?

Freddie Roach on Cotto/Pacquiao 24/7:

"The thing about Hatton, I hate to say this about a world champion, but he's really not very good".

they are considered good htough, hatton was considered the best JW in the world. Cotto was considered and still should be a top 5 WW. and clottey is considered a top 5 WW and gave cotto a very tough fight and would do the same with mosley and maybe even beat mosley.

Roach is right about the last sentence....ability wins fights...that's why they avoided mayweather.......in all seriousness though if he knocks Clottey out it will raise even more questions as to why he wasn't knocking guys out stone cold in the lower weights, but when he moves up 2 or 3 divisions he is dropping guys who come in at 160 on fight night...........

Avoided Mayweather? Your mind really has a different way of thinking.

Not dropping guys stone cold in the lower weights? Maybe you might want to go back to his earlier fights....

How many did he drop cold in the higher weights? And in what manner?

Roach strikes again ......he be shootin' down Manny's opponents BEFORE round 1 even begins......so why should WE give Manny credit for beating fighters who ARE NOT THAT GOOD?!?....according to Roach!!......this guy is a joke!!

100% agree-it may as well be an admission that Clottey is just bringing the same sorta fight that Manny's last 4 have brought-poor defense,walk forward,and are slow or need to plant their feet when they throw a punch...I'm streaming this fight for FREE-no way in hell am I paying for a fight that both Arum and Roach aren't even saying it will be competitive.
The real fight will be Mayweather/Mosely-I'll pay for that!

I look forward to it. He does have a streak of 4, Diaz-DLH-Hatton-Cotto, right now. Would be nice to see him make it a handful. He still lost the 2nd Marquez fight though!

You are kidding if you think Clottey beats Mosely.Mosely has got more skills,more movement,faster hands,more power, and is better conditioned that Clottey even at his age!

this just proves you have never watch manny's fights in the lower weights. you may have just started watching him a bit since he moved to lightweight.

Now do people see the serade Arum/Roach and Manny are putting up.
I mean, it would be something to debate if all these words didn't come
from Freddie Roach mouth himself but that is not the case. Sounds to
me like these guys are picking fighters they know FOR SURE Manny
can beat. For the record, didn't even know Floyd signed his half of
the contract to fight Manny. would be a slap in the face if Clottey
kicked Pacquiao's ass. Would definitely serve them right.

Judah, a guy with just as much speed and power as Pacquaio and who was throwing in combination, landed like 5 punches the whole fight. I really don't know what Roach is seeing to make him think this will be an easy fight.
