Comments Thread For: Roach Very Concerned: Pacquiao Mentally Conflicted

[maguirre]

Everything Roach says is hype job now. Riight.

Like when Floyd went on a tirade mode is hyping Floyd/Pac. Riight.

Like the majority of fans have time to go online and check the news.

Riight. People are ****** sometimes in these forums. They forget that when they watch boxing with their buddies, most of them don't even know who is in the corner of each fighter.

You guys need to go out sometimes and breath fresh air.

Manny's comments are consistent with what he and his coach has been saying for years. His desire to enter politics is no secret. Even after failing to get elected a couple of times, he never gave up. Now, he has achieved the goal of what he has always stated - to be a Congressman in his home province.

People who put a negative spin on this may not understand that there are many desperate people in this world who are just barely making it. Manny, like many other Filipinos know poverty. Boxing is just a way to get out. He got out, now he doesn't need boxing anymore.

His family is pressuring him to quit boxing. His conscience is burdened with the promise of helping his poor countrymen. He has been boxing since he was a kid, and knows that eventually time and too many headshots will catch up. (check out the sad story about Wilfred Benitez)

As much as I have enjoyed Manny box, I want him to quit in good health. As any human being, he is not perfect, but his energy and desire can inspire political change in a country that desperately needs it.


Peace & Respect

Sometimes when I think of Bob Arum I see a man lacking in sensitivity. He has nerves in pronouncing, "Pac will fight Shane next", or "the winner of this bout or so will have Pac." Pac must be thinking, "what is this old man saying? Didn't he know that I have other responsibilities now?" Clearly, Pac respects this old man too much that he can't say no to him.

Bottom line, this is Pac's last fight.

MAYWEATHER/PAC WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

took the words right outta my mouth.



sell it up, roach....

[adp023]

his record says otherwise and you cant honestly believe margarito had illegal wraps for every fight of his career.

I think he wore them against Cotto. If u listen to the sound Margacheato's punches late in the fight, it sounded like a THUD. I think he had plaster of paris.

it'll be a good scrap, while it lasts.


but like you said, this is no doubt an attempt to hype up the fight, by making it seem as if margarito actually has a chance, when in reality he's gonna get murked.



pacquiao has already proven that size and strength disadvantages don't bother him, whether or not you believe its natural, and margarito's only advatages in this fight, are size and strength.

[aescobedo]

I didn't say he did. But I honestly believe he did for at least Cotto. I don't have to strong of an opinion on whether he did before that.

That's just my opinion. Other people think he never loaded his gloves before his attempt against Mosley and that's fine and dandy with me.

Your boy got owned when are you f******g llorones going to get over it damm.
