Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach Responds To Hopkins' Black Fighter Claims

[flint]

none of them will fight pac because arum won't allow it. once they are back up in the final corner pac will use the i'm retiring and moving on the my political career card.

Roach is very right in his comments about Bhop, Pac ducks nobody and flint don't fool yourself it was your bro Floyd who avoids Pac.

exactly.now you get it. pac jumped in on 2 weeks notice because he knew ledwaba was taylor made.why not?ledwaba was the champ and taylor made. had ledwaba had boxing skills and had real fights under his belt i guarantee you pac would've have fought him on 2 weeks notice.

Wow how did Pac know Ledwaba is Tailor made for him? Perhaps Pac asked a tailor's advise eh? So a champ is tailor made for Pacquiao then? Ledwaba had no real fights under his belt? How did he became a champion then? Perhaps he bought the belt in a flea market?

Im just testing your intelligence if you really have one...

Oh like someone who was backed in a corner and said, "Im not thinking of boxing right now but thinking of how many turkeys I'll give on Turkey Day!"

African Americans only make up about 12% of the U.S. and yet 9 out of the 12 pound for pound champs over the past 30 years have been African Americans. It's not a "BLACK" thing. It's an AFRICAN AMERICAN thing. They are a group in their own right in boxing based on their historical dominance especially in contrast to their small population. Manny has never faced an African American and they WERE available.

So slick OLD mosley might be next.
So slick NO DEFENSE Berto might be next.
But definitely the slick DUCK won't be next.

Since you are already making excuses for slick Mosley and slick Berto. Who's the slick AA that will fight Pac then?

Pac don't have to fight an AA just because Bernard stated the facts. All we wanna see is Pac face someone who isn't flat footed and equal or similar speed and a boxing iq. That's all. JMM isn't AA but he fits the description and we all know what happened when he fought Pac. Yeah Pac knocked him down a couple of times but Marquez was able to adjust but Pac wasn't. Pac has no boxing iq he just used speed and output to beat fighters. But it's easy to keep hitting someone when they're not punching back. I didn't see a big output against Marquez. That's cause marquez was punching back. It makes a BIG difference.

first of all idiot i'm mexican and not african american. b hop is right in what he said. if anybody thats a boxing fan and knows about boxing and don't think that pacs opponent are taylor made for his style don't really know anything about boxing. styles makes fights and there's no way that arum puts pac in with mayweather.

You fail at life. Floyd giving back to the community means a lot more than fighting Pac. As a boxing fan I wanna see it. But as a human being I'd rather see Floyd giving back to the community. I mean isn't that what Pac is praised about so many times? Isn't that why Pac said he wanted to be in congress? So he could help the people? But when Floyd does it he gets ****. Your hatred for Floyd is unbelieveable. Especially since you don't even know him. How do you hate someone you don't know? smh

brandon rios could do a better job then sorry ass cheato

[kenmiller31]

but for real. hopkins does have a point. Manny should fight someone like Bradley or Berto. Eventhough Berto doesn't deserve it.


I am so tired of these silly ass pac fans talking about who does and doesn't deserve a fight with Manny. Can anyone honestly say that Margarito who was coming off suspension for being caught with illegal wraps deserved a fight with Manny? Prior to that, he fought Josh Clottey who had previously lost to Cotto but I forgot, Manny and his last two opponents are all Top Rank guys, so Arum keeps it in house so they deserve it I guess. If Clottey and Margarito deserved a shot, then why not Berto? He is the undefeated WBC Welterweight Champ, his current credentials merit a fight with Manny more than Margarito and Clottey combined.The Margarito fight I understand was more about Manny winning a bs 8th world title, but at a catchweight and it was a vacant title-that is garbage. Manny is a talented fighter, but Arum is full of it, putting together these ****ty ass fights, but the bandwagon Pac fans eat it up, this **** is de****able to say the least.
