Comments Thread For: Roach: Mosley The Best Choice, Floyd Jr. Playing Games

[BoZz]

HAHAHA The Joke Coach is at it again!!.

Hey Freddie remember this quote in 2009...

Source LA Times

"Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter."

speaking about Mayweather vs Mosley

"I like Mayweather to win," Roach said. "I do hope Shane finds a way; he's my friend, but he has trouble with speed and the movement he'll get from Mayweather, so I think Floyd will win a decision."

Hey Team Pac & Top Rank!! If their wasnt enough $$money$$ after Mosley knocked out Margarito, how is their enough $$money$$ NOW after Shane got dominated vs Mayweathwer and had a terrible ugly draw vs Mora?

Ooooohhh thats right, NOW you see Shane isnt a risk anymore after Mayweather proved you otherwise. Remember when you were on ESPN with Brian Kenny blasting Mayweather for being afraid of Mosley?

Roach do you remember when you said this?...In regards to fighting Shane Mosley after he knocked out Margarito? When you asked him to fight at a CATCHHWEIGHT of 142lbs?

“I have to protect my fighter. I spoke to Shane and told him that we would fight him at 142. He said he can’t make that weight,” Roach said from his Wild Card Gym in LA.

Mosley, according to The Sweet Science, “asked why not 147 as was set for De La Hoya at 147?” and Roach answered by saying, “Mosley is not De La Hoya in terms of setting a weight handicap.”

Roach stop feeding Pac Mayweathers leftovers!!

well said....

If your fighter came from a third world country full of trog monkeys who fish with dynamite, you would pull the wool over their eyes too. Don't fuq with Manny's hustle ya'll!These fishheads need something to believe in.

Mosley must be the luckiest guy in boxing .. to get dominated by Floyd earlier this year and still wind up fighting another top fighter a year later ... WOW. Shows how much Boxing has fallen off when a 39 year old can be recycled as a challenger 2 consecutive years vs a top Pound for Pound fighter.

The Pacquiao-Mosley fight makes BUSINESS sense. Casual and non boxing fans will buy into this, espcially during HBO 24/7 and other marketing venues. Sugar Shane is almost a household name; and I believe him when he said the fight was 90% done a month ago. The fight WILL sell, with or without the hardcore fans. At the end of the day, its all about the $.

oh im sure Pac-Mosley makes plenty of business sense and will sell .. but just how much? Especially considering Mosley getting wiped out this year in a big fight vs Floyd

from time to time boxing fans chirp up about how they get screwed over with the PPVS. Fans have to realize a Mosley-Pacquiao bout selling well only encourages Promoters to continue with making mismatches

**Look at how well Margarito-Pacquiao sold and think about it .. if Bob Arum can get a million buys on PPV with a fight like that (interesting size differential between fighters but many saw it as a mismatch)

than what stops him from doing it in the future?

Floyd haters love for the guy is amazing. These people bring up floyd more than they do their own favorite fighter. Going by these people floyd is scared, plays games, runs, doesn't fight good opponets.............so then go find someone who is worthy of fighting pac. The silly bashing and critisizm of a guy people have thier undies bunched up to see fight has left us with mosley. He must be a much better fighter than floyd cause you rarely hear people bash him so i dont see why people are upset. The best fighting the best right ?

For those of you keeping score. Mayweather is blasted for ebating a washed up bum named de la Hoya. A year and a half and a ****ty performance against 2 Pound, he's a great win for Pac. Mayweather beats a bum named Hatton/ A year and a half and a near KO loss to Juan Lazcano later, Hatton's a beast when Pac fights him. In Jan of 2009, Mosley destroys Margarito. 16 months later Mayweather is criticized for fighting the winner of that fight, while Pac is praised for fighting loser 6 months later. And now, Pac will be fighting the same Mosley Mayweather was criticized for fighting, but only a year and a pitiful draw with Sergio Mora later. And once again, the Pacwh*re nation will proclaim him the greatest. Wow, what an ass backwards world we live.

Where all the mannyacs at? Cant defend this one. Ran out of excuses for their god. Hows them floyd leftovers?

JMM ruined his shot at Pac when he didn't lay down for a ten count against Katsidis. Looks like Guerrero is the likely next opponent for JMM. If he seriously wants a third fight with Pac, he better get KO'd in brutal fashion.

[Gino Ros]

isn't that why he said mosley is the best available?

berto is undefeated and whatnot, but he's not better than mosley, even now

when pac and berto do fight, it'll be a 1st round ko most likely

there's no one out there for pac but mayweather, and i hope he gets his sht straightened for a fight with pac in 2011
so we dont have to get fights like this anymore

It's funny how Devon and Tim don't even exist.

Manny's new nickname is Tupperware.

He just holds Floyd's leftovers.
