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

[mrjoeblive]

thats what they want but floyd wont back off his idiotic drug testing demands. floyd needs to step up and make Pac vs Floyd happen!

why are you afraid of pac taking the drug test? and in your opinion what makes the drug testing demands idiotic?

[Pacquiao'd]

ridiculous

duckquiao scared of floyd

[Iceta Lives]

lol So Roach is talking about PPV numbers? Floyd fans will have a field day with this

Why is Roach aiming for a LW? Manny is a proven WW.

***** move if Manny fights Valero. I will Root for the caveman if the fight does happen!

If Mosley and Mayweather fight a rematch with each other, I'd give Pac a pass for fighting someone like Valero. Of course I'd rather see Bradley or Alexander. But Valero comes in at a close third right behind those guys to me and it would be an explosive fight. But I can't bring myself to support a Pac-Margarito fight under any circumstances. And amen to the first part of your post. That sounds like Mayweather saying something like Cotto needs to become a CEO in order for Floyd to fight him.

unless there is a controversial decision against mosley there wont be a rematch.before to step up pickin opponents they should wait may 1.
valero-pacman is still the big deal...but valero needs to debut as welter with a true welter imo.

I don't know why so many people are complaining about a Valero-Pac fight. It's not like Valero is a small Lightweight.

[American Dream]

getting the same feeling. we must wait until after May 1st to see what happens. anyways, Valero is still coming up...ofcourse they would want him a.s.a.p. they could take him out. Valero should fight Alexander or Bradley. in fact, Bradley should be the only name coming out of Roach's mouth. what's wrong with Timmy Roach? do you know how well that fight would sell? better than Valero at the moment since Valero still has to go through the weight gaining process.

...................yep.......

Because it affects him psychologically and would give Mayweather an advantage. It is idiotic because Mayweather never demanded it from previous fighters which shows it contradicts his previous claims that Pacquiao will be an easy fight but instead it shows how freakin scared he is of Pacquiao's ability. Can you understand that?

[jrosales13]

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?

No I don't agree, when Pac won the flyweight title. What African American flyweight do you think Pac avoided? Mark Johnson already had moved up.

At 122 what African American fighters did you think Pac avoided?

At 126 by the time he got there was African American fighter would you say Pac should of fought? And, please Derrick Gainer was already downhill. He lost two fights by blowouts against JMM and Chris John.

At 130 What African American fighter did he avoid ino your opinion?

By the time he got to 135 you could say that he avoided Nate Campbell I give you that.

At 140 I guess you can say he avoided Tim Bradley. But, at the time Bradley was still somewhat unproven. But, I will give you Bradley.

At 147 he avoided Shane Mosley... I give you that.

So what is your "conspiracy theory" exactly though? That he is avoided African American fighters or is he avoided slick fighters? Because, that is two totally different scenerios.

Because, lets be real Nate Campbell and Shane Mosley are not what you consider slick fighters. at all. They're there to be hit. Their defense is not the greatest do you agree?

[jrosales13]

At what weight Freddy? Valero needs to brush on some skills before a fight with pac. You are wrong Freddy the biggest fight is Bradley if the Mosley or Mayweather fight dont happen. I know the HBO-SHowtime deal won't be easy but Valero can't move up to WW so fast. If Pac is willing to fight at 135 than it may be interesting. The next pac fight needs to be either one of these three PBF, Mosley,or Bradley.

BTW, i will be off soon so cant read any of the replies.

That is not even an excuse anymore. Bradley is an HBO fighter now he signed with them.

From what I am getting the Valero fight might be at 140 after Valero has one fight at 140 against Lamont Peterson.

However, I agree with Bradley as the fight that should happen instead. However, I think Valero brings in more money but I don't care about that. It should be Bradley.

Where's Andre Berto? why, he's not included on the list of prospects.

I think Berto is not an option cuz of the Al Haymon connect.
