Comments Thread For: Roach: First Manny Knocks Mayweather Out, Then Marquez

OK Freddie if you say so

[Zarco]

So Pacquiao fought 2 distputable fights with Marquez, and Roach wants to settle all disputes against a 37 year old Marquez 3 weight classes up from his best weight?

[RisAri0]

win or lose I'd expect him to fight Marquez anyways

[DoubleMM]

really? last time i checked, it was marquez calling out pac for another payday... all respect to marquez, but he is a thorn in manny's side. a win over jmm wont do anything for pac... also, why would pac go down to 135 for jmm?? floyd didnt go down to 135 did he?? why should pac? if a fighter is CHALLENGING an elite fighter, he MUST agree to the elite fighters terms... ring size, gloves, purse split, catch-weight... all STANDARD terms nowadays... jmm had to agree to EVERY term on the contract for floyd. floyd deserved to call the shots... and so does manny.

manny calls the shots with jmm... period. also, pac didnt force absurd catchweights on his opponents... they SIGNED the contract, they wanted the money. no reason to whine & make excuses about it... people forget how common catchweights are. catchweights happened before manny and will happen after manny... so why do people make it a bigger deal than it is??? if floyd made martinez/p-will/etc fight at a catchweight, i know i wouldnt criticize him for it. i would applaud him for fighting a bigger & potentially more challenging fighter.

so it's ok for Pacquiao to fight JMM because JMM called him out. JMM called out Mayweather as well.

WATCH VIDEO AT 1:00 IN..

Roach needs some medication or something. Maybe he's on steroids also because he can't shut the F up. Get the deal done and lets see if Manny can do what he says. I highly doubt it.

Manny has had only one(1) catchweight and that was 2 pounds on cotto

Floyd has had 1 and it was bringing a LW Marquez up NINE(9) pounds

So dont talk about Manny manking absurd catchweights

DLH Hatton Cotto...just in recent fights, Clottey was paid to lose and was a meaningless anyway so 147 was ok there. His demands are absurd 147 belt but the champ can't weight over 145 and 10 million a pound is absurd as are all his weight demands of any kind.

[Filipino Floyd]

He won't knock Mayweather out but he'll definetly put JMM out for the count. I don't care what happened in the first two fights, there won't be any controversy after the third.

Isn't its Manny 2nd straight Fighter of the Year award? not 3rd straight?

Floyd's favorite thing to say when...

a) His bluff is called.
b) He runs out of excuses.
c) There are no more smaller opponents that pose little or no threat with a big name.
d) There are no more declining opponents that pose little or no threat with a big name.
e) He is trying to push his luck in or finding a way out of negotiations.
f) Refuses one of the biggest paydays of his career due to all of the above.
