Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao in October or November, Says Roach

[Russian Crushin]

i can bet on it once this fight gets made Pac drops from a body shot and starts rolling in the ring like a stop,drop and roll demonstration..i like pac no doubt but he aint in my top five active i just dont get how this little dude get to demand everything in his fights if u wasnt ready for welterweight why come if u aint coming correct..Floyd always fought at the official weight for every belt

Dude Are you seroius? Cotto was his only catchweight.....and if cotto didnt like it he shouldnt have agreed....to not like a fighter because he had 1 catch weight is just plain ******

Bargaining with 17 or 18 days no blood tests? By this, i won't see the fight from happening because Floyd sticked as glue to his personal demand, much more that he wanted bigger share right now.. No.. this will not happened this year or soon as long as Floyd wouldn't like to step on the plate under normal NSAC rules!

Not to mention he is off balance, throws wildly and at times very easy to hit. Mayweather will beat him easier than he did Mosley IMO. Pacs not technically great just has GREAT endurance. He will look like shyt when he's involved in a thinking game/chess match. JMM for example who is a great technician gave him 24 rounds of hell.

It is 2010 now. Pac has a right hand, movement, angles, better balance. JMM was a while ago. That's like comparing Floyd vs. Castillo and saying Hatton could beat him at in fighting. One should learn that fighters get better through time. Floyd obviously got better and stronger.

It is really naive to say Pacquiao is "wild" and leads with his head. He has obviously come along way. Don't you think he would have been knocked out by now if this were true? By Cotto, De La Hoya, Hatton, Clottey. Geez

He definitely needs a jab to beat Floyd. Trust me bro, Freddie Roach will be working on that jab with Manny. There is no way he'll get touch May w/ out a jab.

Sure he could!

You are a very strange person man... I can't figure you out. You harp on great boxing, et your a Paul Williams fan.

Pac is a good boxer. He has great movement and great foot speed. Believe it or not, he has pretty good defense as well. Pac is a mid range fighter. Meaning, he is in range to connect with hooks, left crosses, etc. The twist side of it is that mid range puts him in power punching range of his opponents. YET HE IS ELUSIVE ENOUGH TO GET AWAY WITH IT. He slips a lot and blocks them with his hands. He is also devestating at countering jabs (watch the cotto fight). He just uses his skills different then FLoyd.

I don't understand why you don't like PAC's skills (especially if your a Paul Williams fan). They are both high output fighters with great power, and they bring the fight to their opponent. The only difference is Pacquiao is much more skilled as a boxer then Williams.

You must have issues with PAC for other reasons.... I guess

Its just his dislike of Pac....i hear things like this all the time..."i dont like Pac beause he fights like hes in a street fight and knocks everyone out" kinda ****....but to be honest we all do it, if we dont like a fighter personally, we tend to discredit thier skills

pbf will go back to his usual style which is safety-first policy against pac. pbf let his hands go and attacked alot because he saw mosley had nothing to offer after the 4th round. pbf changed his style in the 3rd and he saw that mosley couldnt adjust with his speed. so why change his attack-mode at all.

against pac, he cant do that. pac has good lateral movements and can punch with power in an awkward angle. so, watch out for pbf to dance and circle alot, potshot, trashtalk in distance and feign a rope-a-dope coz he wouldnt risk being cornered by pac.

The fact that Pac is not an orthadox fighter is what makes him great....look at his 2 KD's against Cotto, both were very unorthadox,weird angle punches

Hes not gonna outbox Floyd so he will use his style to beat him

Right... But at least they should come up with a better reason to discredit. There is no way a 5'5 light weight can fight like a street fighter and still not get knocked out by cotto, De La Hoya, Hatton, Clottey. Even if he used PEDS... there is now way he'd not get knocked the F out. He obviously has skills in the ring.

Forgetting De La Hoya?

Still, Manny is pretty likable. Would likely be a great fight between him and Floyd. I, in a way, hope the fight doesn't end with a quick KO. Felt kinda wrong when Shane nearly got him out so quick. The guy is a great fighter.

TRUE.. The Shane I saw on Saturday is nothing like the Pacman of today..

Shane gassed out in the middle rounds.. Not happening with Pacman..
