Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach: Manny Pacquiao Can Beat Bernard Hopkins

[megas30]

Race has nothing to do with it. B-hop is a racist. What he did to Tito and said to Calzaghe is proof. At this stage Pacquiao would destroy B-hop but B-hop is over 10 years older than Pacquiao lmao

Ignorant prick...Tito is black! xenophobic, in this case, might be more appropriate....n if he had said "i will only lose to white guys" you guys would praise him for being the subservient black dude. Hopkins, Kanye, and Mayweather deserved credit for saying what most common men can only think of.

We already watched Hopkins "lose" a close SD to Calzaghe who is more active, bigger, stronger, has more movement than Pac will ever have let alone his very horrible awkward "super windmill" style.

Hopkins as the slick old season vet he is (if smaller) would make Pac look like a piece of boring shyt (as Mayweather would). Pac would be so confused (as he would with Mayweather) when Hop holds him, rough houses him and makes him not want to throw a punch.... Pac would raise his hands as to say I don't know what to do with a guy that doesn't come forward and go toe to toe..... or just stand in front of me so I can whale away........

A great defense technical fighter clowns Pac badly. Fact and I dare anyone to tell me different.

As for Roach saying Pac would beat Hopkins? That's him talking shyt as he knows that (contradicting) fight would never get made. Unless Roach is talking about training for fighting Mayweather, Martinez, PWILL, Berto, Bradley, Alexander, Kirkland NOBODY cares.........

Pacquiao is busier than Calslappy and has more angles,movements.He's also faster.

...lol.....i do too....we are delutional....lol

From the horses' mouths...lol. Incredible how the truth always has a way of coming out.

[Mr. Fantastic]

Another small dude for Hopkins to fight. You know Hopkins' mouth must be salivating over this comment.

Pacquiao vs Hopkins at a catchweight of 163, Manny allowed to come in at 155. Steve Cunningham gets stripped of his WBC Cruiserweight Title and Hopkins/Pacquiao fight for it. Pacquiao beats a weight drained Hopkins and becomes the first former Flyweight to become Cruiserweight Champion.

Yeah, thats how it see it happening. Then David Haye gets stripped of his WBA title for not fighting Chagaev his mandatory, and we get Pacqiauo Vs Arreloa at a catchweight of 176 for the vacant WBA title, and the Pacqiauo 'fans' will say Arreloa isnt even drained at 176 and claim its the best Arreloa boxing has ever seen, and currently the best fighter at HW..

[BillyBoxing]

No... stop day dreaming. And its funny because he wont lose cause Hopkins way bigger, but because Hopkins MOVES

Hopkins moves too slow for Pacquiao.
I agree he can hurt Pacquiao bad,but he isn't catchin him at will.Hopkins always struggled with fast fighters.

Pacquiao isn't flat footed like Pavlik or Trinidad.
Hopkins looks like complete **** against fast fighters(remember JT).

Not to mention Hopkins is shot.So at a 165 catchweight,might be an interesting fair fight.

it was his opinion why does he have to be a hater? not everyone thinks manny is the greatest boxer ever and the best thing next to Jesus!!!! and after he beat de lahoya and now marg its getting old watching him pumble fighters who have no movement and will try to slug it out with him, the closest we seen to that was cotto... people just want to see him fight someone with a different style perferably a fighter with great footwork and countering ability who has ring smarts! why is he not in a position to say anything bad about manny? hes a professional boxer, hes never been KOd and was a great champion when he was in his prime how many title defenses did bhop have when he was the champ?? u have to give him credit! do u guys expect the whole world to see it the way you see it?

i'm gonna put it to you like this: hopkins is a former lightheavy who scaled down to middleweight and feasted on a weak middleweight division, while waiting for big name welterweights to move up...then he moved back up to lightheavy and still feasted on catchweight fights with middleweights until calzaghe pimpslapped him...he is recognized around the world as the most boring fighter on the planet...he ain't even in a position to say s**t cause nobody's listening but the few fans he has left...

pac on the other hand started out fighting cats who were his size, and kept moving up...now he's not just fighting, but whipping cats who are grossly bigger than him, one after the next, and getting top dollar for it...he's giving his fans, and the general public, what the f**k they been asking for...even his haters order his fights...those few people who are crowing about pac fighting a "slick boxer" aren't even heard, cause this guy is filling stadiums and is making history....little a** pac just beat margarito, the same cat fmj ducked @ 8 million....at this point fmj, nard, shane, or any other "slick black boxer (aka lazy)...they better get off they a** and start making a case to fight the best instead of running off at the mouth...

Pacquiao is busier than Calslappy and has more angles,movements.He's also faster.

Pointless argument.......

I hate Calzaghe and his style (although I somewhat respect what he did in the sport). Did you look up the stats (I didn't) but if Calzaghe isn't more busier than Pac, it would be off by VERY little. Calzaghe throws damn near if not over a 1,000 punches and I bet probably has a better connect rate than Pac.

As for more angles? Calzaghe has better balance and throws **** from everywhere. As for Pac being being faster? Very Possible, but factor in the size, reach and power coming from Joe's punches and I bet it would put Calzaghe>Pac when comparing punch states. I'm no expert on Joe Calzaghe but I've watched a lot of his fights. I know more about Pac than I do Calzaghe but Calzaghe takes Pac over in the work rate department.

^^^how the hell did it come to talking about Joe Calzazghe and Pac...lol

[MrClutch85]

Freddie Roach is clown that never shuts the **** up so what he's mad B-Hop expressed his opinion in a Honest way he speaks his mind and says what he feels I respect him for that he won't put Pac in the ring with B-Hop a slick old school vet that knows all the tricks of the game Bernard would take Pac to school just like he did Pavlik

it makes no sense to even talk to a super pac fan, hell i love the guy myself but u guys take it to damn far! aka lazy huh? ok.... so i guess the only person who can comment on pac is God himself since hes an exciting fighter who pumbles guys who are tailor made for his style but fills stadiums.... the style u call boring is actually exciting to some, and to people who have actually boxed and care about more than just KOs and seeing a war we see flaws in pac (we are sorry we are not 2 year old boxing fans who demand a brawl or a KO) but hey its your opinion no need to respond... pac is one hll of an exciting fighter and will be an all time great!

anyways lets just hope pac agrees to the blood test with no cut off dates and floyd can stop bull****ting and get this show on the road... which most likely will never happen
