Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Valero is what I want, Not Margarito: Says Roach

[Boxin']

Why is he picking on a lightweight?

Why doesn't he wanna fight a top guy @ 140 instead?

Because the top guys @ 140 are slick boxers, i thought this was common knowledge..

Pac will never fight Bradley, too dangerous because Bradley is a head charging lunatic. No one wants to fight him and rightly so, who wants to get headbutted or have a no contest because of it?

was there ever a headbutt in bradley-petterson?

[supRa]

i like valero.. i dont see nothign wrong with it but, only issue is the weight gonna affect valero?!?!

valero is f-ckin beast!

If that should happen why would Pac fight a guy who is nobody at 140?Does that really make sense?mmm.Think about he is the 140lb champ.Put your belt on the line then fight the winner of Bradley Devon.Why fight a guy who is not even the top dog anywere?He has not beatin anybody in any div he was at name a top five fight in any div he beat?

you are 100% right that he hasnt beat any top guys in any division, i guess i'm just holding out hope that he gets a solid win in (maybe a Lamont peterson) and then the Pac/Valero fight could have some credibility.
I LOVE tim Bradley and i think he is the man at 140 but even with his wins over Witter,Holt and Peterson if Valero were to blast Peterson out in 4-7 rounds (not saying he will but he does have raw power) it would at least put him in the ballpark for a Manny Pacquiao fight.
I also Don't think Valero is ready right now, or deserving. but it is a fight i would enjoy to watch. and i just think a ton of people would tune in, just for the sheer amount of Fireworks that are bound to come...for however long it lasts haha

this would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!! please make it happen!!!!!

[dj Ramos]

hahahahhahaha roach is scared of tony!! WAR MARGARITO!!!!!!!

[F l i c k e r]

As long as the reason for not wanting to fight Margarito is because he has no license, than I am fine with it.

If there comes up some other excuse, then I am not fine with it. At all what so ever.

Valero is all hype. An unproven, average boxer. Pac's team will
make him come up to 140 and get blown out inside 4 rounds.

Same goes for the aging Marquez @ frickin' 140.

[mrjoeblive]

True but what makes Valero more intruiguing is his 100% KO ratio. And, the fact that a lot of people see similarites between Valero and the old Pac.

Does that make it right? No, does Bradley deserve it more than Valero? of course he does. Does Bradley have a better chance in beating Pac than Valero? Of course he does. But, Valero might be more intruiguing due to his style and record.

The Alexander argument? Eh... I think he is just getting a lot of hype now. I understand Bradley. Alexander not so much. I probably would prefere Valero over Alexander. I think Valero brings more of a threat than Alexander. And, I agree I think Bradley is more of a threat than Valero

The only reason I would want to see the Alexander fight even though I think it would be an easy fight for Pac. Is to get the whole Pac has never fought an African American fight bull**** out of the way.

but is it bs? or is there some truth to that conspiracy theory? if you look back at all the quality fights that could have been made, you have to wonder. pac has a rep as a take on all fighters kind of guy. but when you look at his past opponets the style they employ looks the same. and he flat out avoided some fighters. how do you go so many years and avoid fighting african-americans? thats like a black swimmer avoiding white swimmers. that would take some doing. do you agree?

[testicularkabob]

don't forget, Erik is back, and stronger at 147

Valero, margarito, morales, marquez these are the four fights he needs to make happen
