    Why does Roach constantly expose his own fighter?

    I mean, read the most recent article here, and you decide. If he's saying that Mayweather is faster and will beat Mosley, doesn't that also mean that he's saying Mayweather is better than Pacquiao as well?

    We all know what Roach said to Mosley when he offered to fight Pacquiao now.. This puzzles me.

    Get over it. He's a man of contradictions.

      “Manny wants the fight. The drug testing issue is there, but we’ll come to an agreement. I’d like Manny to fight Mayweather next, if Mayweather wins, and then retire after that fight. It would be the greatest test for Manny, and he would have to fight the perfect fight. I think Manny has nowhere to go after that, and I’m just pleased he has lots of interests and businesses outside the sport,” Roach said.

      That's the only interesting thing he said in that article, but i am still not quite sure what he meant by it though. Deja Vu all over again.

        Roach is old and his thought process is slowing down. For the most part he tells the truth even if it does expose his stable.


        But even though he tells the truth, he does have confidence in his fighters when they are in the ring. Not so much outside of it, sometimes, but at least he doesn't give up on them in the ring.

          I really think he's on his way out. I feel bad for Roach, great guy, and that isn't sarcasm.

            He did say in that Eli Shetback interview that he is realizing that he is slowing down a little bit and that he was getting tired a little earlier than usual. I hope he doesn't quit though. The way Parkinson's ****s up the body, he should be moving like Michael J Fox right now but boxing has helped slow down the disease.

              yo genius....styles make fights. Roach also said Shane like guys sho come at him, uhh Pac comes at you..doesnt he? Floyd doesnt he wants you to come to him...right? Ok then...the question here is can Floyd withstand the onslaught? And would Shanes long powerful arms catch the incoming Pac?

                Yeah I remember that in one of the 24/7 episodes using that elliptical machine.

                  I dont think Roach exposed him, Pacquiao's flaws are there for all to see

                  You might get away with it against shot fighters like Morales, Hatton and Cotto but when Pacquiao steps in there with a fighter like Floyd Mayweather. He will lose every single round prior to being knocked out badly.

                    Which is why everyone is so desperate to see May and Pac in the ring to heighten each other's legacy. Surely, these two fighters are just hypejobs.
