Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Marquez III Will Happen, After Mosley

[V.WEBB]

So NEXT year, we get Manny vs Shane, then Manny vs Marquez????

[Walterson]

This is cherry picking at it's best lmao

How old is Marquez now? He'll be 38/39 by the time they fight with no speed at all.

[onechance87]

HEY ROACH,top rank dont want copromote with gbp.5 million seems
fair to me.

[Bastian Loc]

After the rematch I told my g/f that Arum would wait till JMM was 40 years old for this rematch.

As usual, I was right.


These people are a disgrace, hopefully Mosley lands a right hand and ends this Fudgepacky train.

[GoogleMe]

Marquez is not getting any younger either - he's 37 now.

Manny has been forced to fight mosley because of mayweather and marquez,neiter made themselves avialable for the fight,with drug testing that got sorted,but to only going to court as the new problem!,and marquezs money demands and weight struggle.
(berto hasnt proven himself to get to fight pac,martinez is a middleweight,williams isnt a welter for me,i dont think he could weigh in and be effective at weltwerweight,hes been a light middleweight for while now)

if marquez truly wanted to face pac,he would take any money offered his way to get the win over pac and become p4p no 1.

.But no he asks for more than he got vs floyd!.
and he wont do the weight like he did vs floyd,so marquez acts is if hes so much more superior than pac and would beat him easy but if he puts on a few pounds he wont be as superior?.pfft,come on!

marquez needed to accept any pay,it would have been better than any other fight he was offerered,
and he should have negotiated with pac to allow him a catchweight of 145 or something like that(on the night of marquez's last fight he weighed 145)

and still allow pac to weight in at 145-147 limits.

people say mosley is a bad fight and pac beats him easy,but would they say marquez beats mosley easy,hell no.

mosley isnt what he once was.
but hes not as bad as people make out,

he got beat by another atg,with a style that he doesnt deal with well,(but gave floyd the toughest 2 rounds of his life,almost KO'ing him,
he fought a tough fight out of his natural weight vs a guy who was also tricky and didnt come to fight on the night.)

mosley still has granite chin,still has power,still has speed,still is determined.

pac isnt as slick as floyd or mora. but the speed,work rate and movement of pac will beat shane,but we dont know that pac will decide to fight so technical,maybe he will stand toe to toe with shane,and this will be a war.

as a mosley fan,ide rather he faces cotto,williams,martinez.
pac could retire him,its less likely shane sticks to a gameplan and stops manny.

i think pacs speed,work rate and movement beat mosley,and shane with bad form and maybe low confidence isnt the greatest at this moment in time.
marquez v pac should have happend 1st,then berto/cotto/williams v mosley happens,if shane wins that,he then can fight pac.

but shanes long arms,fast hands, and dangerous power used more effectively than margarito did could possibly destroy pac.

remember this,form is temporary,class is permenant!.

be lucky manny is still fighting,keeping busy,and sticking around till mayweather is ready to come and get the fight we all want happening.

i think pac will beat mosley,it will be like cotto fight,but shane has more power,pac might have to stay technical to avoid punishment.

then marquez can unify lightweight,realise he has no one left to fight,and that pac offers him his highest pay day ,and he can weigh 145 as can pac and fight a welterweight catchweight.

pacs last 3 fights in order will be:

Mosley,
Marquez,
Mayweather.

all 3 are p4p greats,what ever form they are in,there all dangerous and tough fights,even if pac manages to work hard and make them look easy.

[Aut_72]

lol but why not now???

[lutenco]

If the great mexican boxer JMM fights MANNY at 147,he risks brain damages seriously!!!

[RL_GMA]

I think many of us who are bickering about Pacquiao's next opponents need to realize that the selection of guys out there that are realistic match ups aren't these competitive fights that will draw people in to see if this is the guy who knocks Pacquiao off more than people simply paying to see a Manny Pacquiao fight. This is of course until Pacquiao vs Mayweather happens, if it ever does.

The same way people have criticized Floyd for "cherry picking" is some what similar to what they're accusing Pacquiao of now. The only difference is Pacquiao's is continuing to fight whomever is there instead of taking a sebatacle, or like people here call "Vacation".

People are still going to buy Pacquiao PPVs. Until Pacquiao vs Mayweather happens, we have to get used to the "Manny Pacquiao Show". Just like anything on TV, you have a choice whether to watch it or not.

[Mr. Philadel]

Trainer Freddie Roach is not losing hope on a future trilogy fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. "Sugar" Shane Mosley is the reported favorite to face Pacquiao on May 7 in Las Vegas. As long as Pacquiao continues to win his fights, Roach appears confident that third fight with Marquez will happen.
