Freddie Roach: "My fight plan to beat Mayweather Jr is almost finished."

[Biolink]

Keep confirming what some already knew.

Pacquiao is really having two training camps for Mayweather, and they are slightly looking past Clottey.

[Calilloyd]

I don't think they are. Pacquiao sat ringside for Cotto-Clottey. And Roach has spoken about Josh, he just doesn't think much of him. Hey, maybe Joshua will surprise. Count me among those who thinks there is a greater chance of him quitting (hand injury, headbutt, sprained vulva) then there is of him getting a KO. But I DO want him to surprise and test Manny.

[Mr. Chago]

he has to see mosley/floyd first obviously

LOL...good one, still highly unlikely, too much money for not making PBF vs PAC next...this looks like WWE.

[IMDAZED]

Man Judah was giving him the biz no way in hell he beats Manny...But im hoping for a competitive fight

I thought Clottey was handling Zab with ease. I also thought Zab looked like he has slowed down a lot. He's not the same guy who fought Floyd FOUR years ago (crazy, right?). Clottey is just very irksome. He has the right combination of size and skill to beat almost any welter in the world. But he lacks all the intangibles that separate the great from the good. And Pacquiao has been blessed with an abundance of them. Who knows, maybe Pacquiao starts beating him up so bad that he actually forces Clottey to fight and reach his potential.

This is why I see a possible stoppage for Pacquiao. And Clottey won't even have to be that hurt for it to happen. The skills are there but Clottey has shown no desire or ability to fight through adversity. If he does in this fight I'll be very surprised. I don't see him winning under just about any circumstances.

I agree. And I've bought his BS far too many times to be fooled again (Margarito, Cotto, etc). The nature of a man doesn't change. Pacquiao will overwhelm him and stop him or even make him quit.

More quotes that prove they were the ones not ready.

Roach is only hyping the fight with Mayweather's name.

Learn the game you are commenting you troll.

I think Clottey goes the distance.

If Pac stops him I will be surprised and impressed.

[BillyBoxing]

Said he knew how to beat Pacquiao. I laughed then went to take a piss.

Yall and Roach should respect Clottey a lil bit more.

He fought plasterito and didn't quit like Cotto or Cintron.
Josh ain't a quitter.

To me,Josh has only lost one time,against Margo.

Josh has beaten Corrales,Judah and Cotto in my book.

He was handling Baldo easely before the DQ.

Only Margo kicked Josh's ass,and not so much.

Josh ain't the looser you are saying.
He's a threat,and everybody,Floyd or Mosley would look bad gainst that tough african dude.

Don't get me wrong,I agree he's the gran master of excuses.

“If it’s Mayweather, we need time to get ready for that fight. We have to come out with a real different style. It’s a whole different ballgame,” - Roach.

2.
“The Mayweather fight is the fight the world wants to see,” Roach said. “It’s going to be the biggest pay-per-view fight of all time. But I think we will fight one fight before that.”

Roach said that Pacquiao’s schedule will be constructed around his political ambitions and the elections in the Philippines on May 10. “But there is a March date for him to fight,” Roach said. “People think I am crazy but I want him to win his eighth title against Yuri Foreman at 154lb. That’s my idea — then fight Mayweather in September. And then retire.”

3.
And Mayweather is not the one that has invited similar style fighters as Pac to camp to train with already. (Steve Forbes)

Never really wanted to fight Mayweather in March. Its clear they needed more time.

Troll.
