Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Marquez Will Be at 147, No Catch-Weight!

[Pogue69]

The Lalonde fight was rubbish, it was an exhibition match, and in no way whatsoever contributes to Ray's legacy.

When history reflects..... who gives a *** about the Lalonde fight? It is never even mentioned.

And yet 60 minutes proclaim that Manny is an 8-division champ by beating the welterweight bum Margarito, while weighing 144

You are a joke kid, go play with your Manny-doll.

If Manny was a legitimate P4P champion, he would defend his title vs Martinez at 154, he would fight Marquez at 140, and he would not have demanded a catch-weight for either the Cotto fight or the Margarito fight.

Why would a P4P fighter ever demand a catch-weight? That is an oxymoron!!

Even 140 is clearly too much for Marquez, and Manny could easily make JWW.

Manny is a b1tch if he fights Marquez at 147.

And Manny is not a genuine 8-division champion either.

Manny will not fight anyone who is on top of their game, and he will not fight a slick boxer / counter-puncher.

Manny is a hype-job, his career has been masterfully guided by Top Rank.

You became a joke to me when you compared Manny to Ray.

Absolutely.

For any Pac fan who does not think the Margarito fight was an opportunistic cherry-pick: Would Pac have gone after the WBC JMW belt if Martinez had still been champion?

The negative comments about Pacquiao in this blog are a joke. They no doubt come from the promoters of the "slick African American school" of horse crap promoted by bubba Hopkins, the Archie Bunker of boxing pundits.

135 or 140 and that's it. Anything bigger Marquez is ineffective.

It is kinda funny that Roach wanted de la Hoya at 147 (although he hadn't fought there in almost a decade), Cotto at 145, Mosley at 142, and the smallest of the bunch JMM at 147.

The last time I checked sir, it was ODLH who challenged Pacquiao at 147...

Let it be at 147. Marquez can do ala pacquiao and weigh in at 142 or 141 and will still be consider a "welterweight" fight. How can Pac weigh in at 144.6 and not be penalized for fighting a "junior middleweight" fight. Following Pac's recent fights, I've learned that at unless you don't weigh more than 145, 147 or 150 you are cool. So if I'm Marquez, take the fight at 147. Boxing fans now know that you don't have to weigh 147 to fight at welterweight fight. You just can't weigh more than that. Let's do marquez vs pacquiao and settle the business.

Roach is saying that if ANY fighter from 140 and below wanna fight Manny they need come up to 147. Thats fair cuz Manny did it when he fought de la hoya. If you want a shot at the P4P Cash Cow of boxing than you gotta take a risk and fight him on his terms. Marquez dont deserve this fight and he damn sure dont deserve no catchweight. Let him hang out in a bar bathroom and he'll be like a kid in a candystore.

Check hooks stop being a hypocrite, you let me pee in your mouth all the time.. u closet ****!

Coach roach is a joke!

Roach you ain't nuthin but a little b.i.t.c.h! Everybody thinks your a joke now u coward!

[dawge]

you'd probably won't even mention martinez if the miracle 2nd round ko of williams didn't happen. Pacquiao has been doing crazy stuff for what? Almost 10 years now? Give props to the guy who deserves it

u mean crazy stuff like weight draining people for 10 years.. Imo he deserves an asterisk!

Aaaa...ODLH was the one who called for 147lbs., not Freddy. Pacquiao was 135lbs when ODLH called him out for 147lbs. Get your **** straight.
