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

[Red_Menace]

Hopkins made 160 lbs easily, and fought at an even lower weight against Oscar. Saying he should have been fighting at 175 the whole time is just nonsense. He KO'd a 32-0 Glen Johnson at Middleweight. Sorry, but Hopkins was a great fighter.

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

lol...why the hell would roach put pac in the ring with a lightheavy who can't draw....

i'm waiting for the day bernard talks s**t about somebody bigger than him....

and lets face it all the greats of our time have had spells where they took advantage of something, fought a few lesser opponents, or didnt have a specific fight everyone wanted to see, its just how it goes these days... even ray leonard did it... the thing is pac is not exempt lets not act like we dont see this pattern...

[switchsouthpaw]

Trainer Freddie Roach was far from pleased when hearing about the controversy over the recent comments that were made by Bernard Hopkins, who pushed the issue as to when Manny Pacquiao would finally face a "top black fighter." During the interview with BoxingScene.com's Lem Satterfield, Hopkins said that an African American boxer, with a slick style of fighting, would be very capable of beating Pacquiao.

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

oh so recognizing that this guy is whipping a** makes you a super pac fan?...i'll tell you what...i wouldn't pay for another fmj fight until he shutstfu, gets off that blood test bs and fights pac...hopkins is only exiting to i guess you and 3 other people these days.....thats why hbo wouldn't even entertain his pascal fight ppv or wtb worthy...what he REALLY needs to do is beat Pascal without putting everybody to sleep with all the holding, headbutting, and dirty tactics....then he could talk...

let me tell you something about boxing...this is a "what have you done for me lately" sport, and right now...no disrespect to shane, but none of the "slick black boxers" aren't doing much to catch the general public's attention...that includes berto and dawson...makes no difference to me whether a fighter is a boxer, brawler, etc. just as long as he makes his style work and beats who they put in front of him in convincing fashion, and like it or not, the general public want kos and tkos...right now pac is the frontrunner like it or not...fmj had it, but lost imo with all the inactivity and domestic problems, court cases, and ill advised, idiotic public rants...anybody who sees flaws or whatever in pac (fmj), get your mind right and make the fight with your fists, not your mouth

Pac would school Popkins at 160, even if Popkins blew up to 175 by fight night. Believe it...maybe Popkins should put his money where his racist mouth is.

i agree with roach on this one, after his performance vs Jones,Bhop should definetly shut up , plus who are the "top black slick fighters" that Manny is ducking ? mayweather is the only one that fits that description and he is the one runnin from Pac. . pwill, berto,bradley,alexander none of those guys are slick or nowhere near the top so bhop is referring to Mayweather

[WladIsTheChamp]

Pac can easily put on another 10 pounds and still retain his speed.

i said its your opinion and i also said pac is exciting, my only point was b hop is an all time reat and he as a pro boxer who has been in good fights does have the right to give his opinion on pac, bhop is pretty much done i am not excited to ever see him fight again i am not saying hes exciting to me at this point but ive follwed his career and the dude is a great boxer, but there are people who like to watch the guy fight and its more than 3 of them thats just they way life is... people see things different (one mans trash is the next mans treasure)... a super pac fan is one who calls someone delusional or reorts to name calling when another person isnt calling him God in the flesh, or Jesus with a mouthpice, or the best boxer of all time!

lol slick black fighter yall are funny with that one!

[kingfaze19]

forgot to mention shane, but he isnt slick or near the top either, hes coming off 2 ****ttty performances vs floyd and mora, and he will just try to brawl vs pacquiao cuz he cant box for s.h.i.t and probably will get KTFO cuz of his horrible stamina nowadays,they shouldnt shane through that type of punishment at this stage of his career.
