Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Would Be Difficult, But Pacquiao Wins

[WESS]

If that doesn't say how good Arum thinks Mayweather is then
I don't know what does. Even Roach said "WE COULD win".
He doesn't believe it 100%.

When Floyd put green in Bob's pockets, he was throwing ATG lines out there left and right about Floyd, comparing him to everybody that's anybody. Then again, that's what a promoter is supposed to do right?

There is a reason Arum couldn't care any less if Pac ever fights Mayweather. Bob Arum knows Floyd Mayweather and he knows exactly how to make or break a fight with him too.

[Boxing's Truth]

Not saying your bashing him but this is what Floyd had mentioned once. People (the ones that call him "coward") demand for him not to run but to stand there (like an idiot) and punch, as if thats what boxing is all about. Anyway just as soon as he does that people talk shyt and say he's slippin.

Its about the same type of logic people have been they bashed him for "ducking" Judah a FAST southpaw and then after beating him bashing him for ducking baldo after beating him bashing him for moving up to JMW and beating Hoya (imo it was at worst a draw, I had Hoya winning). Point is they ask for something, they somewhat get it and then bash more. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Just like Pac vs Mosley. In 2009 Pac had chance but skipped it now he's being bashed for taking it. Only problem is, we KNOW Mosley is old and have 2 years of evidence.

Not singling you out but just saying that this is how Floyd felt and mentioned that once before. Who knows really its all speculation but I don't personally think he's slippin, just adjusting. Who know's you might be right. Hopefully one way or another we will find out when he returns. IMO I think he fights Berto since Pac/Arum raced to sign Mosley who they had picked well before the Margarito fight who they had picked ahead of time just as Clottey was picked. Hell of a trend. Be on the look out for Pac vs Cotto II at 154 next.

Didn't you tell me once that Pac already accepted full OST with no cut off date. What was your source??

[Khalid X]

Yeah I see Manny winning this decisively.

Hopefully the fight happens so we can all move on.

[punchmehard]

You sound like a little kid.

What sort of an idiot would consider that OST request a duck ?

Who would question the guy who asked, but not even consider questioning the guy who refused?

Wake up kid.

Oh wait, you mean..... when Mayweather insisted that Shane Mosley undertake OST's before their fight, that was just Floyd's way of ducking Mosley?

Because, he knew Shane wouldn't accept those ridiculous demands right ?

Jeez, Mayweather was lucky.....
just imagine if Shane had called his bluff and taken those nasty tests

It is absolutely ridiculous for you to think that the OST request was a duck.

The following "duck" excuses are ALL better than your one..........

FLOYD: " **** off, you're not getting 50% "
FLOYD: " **** off, 10 million per pound overweight is ridiculous "
FLOYD: " **** off, you're not a draw "
FLOYD: " **** off, you've had too many losses "
FLOYD: " **** off..... just **** off "

If Mayweather wanted a way out of that fight, do you really think that he would have accepted 50/50? or that silly 10mil per pound demand?

He would have used one of five excuses, and ALL of them would be better than your one..... because, Manny could have simply taken the test.

* OST's are HARMLESS !!
* OST's will be mandatory within a couple of decades
* OST's are mandatory NOW in ALL top amateur sports

But this is the main point.....
* Currently, if an amateur athlete avoids or obstructs an OST request, they are JUDGED GUILTY, by the sanctioning body, and by the public in general.

THE SAME WILL HAPPEN in a few years, because OST will be mandatory at that point in time.

In the future, boxing fans will wonder why Manny insisted upon a cut-off date - which will seem bizarre, because.....
a.) there is no such thing as a cut-off date for OST's
b.) EVERYBODY will be taking OST's as per regulation, at that point in time

Team Pacquiao gave a total of 6 ridiculous excuses why Manny would not undertake random blood tests - which is a fkn joke. Requiring 6 different excuses means that none of them were any good, they just didn't want to take blood tests simple as that......

Floyd was toeing the line..... WHERE THE *** WAS MANNY ?

Joe, tell me..... which one of those 6 ridiculous excuses did you believe ?

Now you are the kiddo. You have repeated this post a million times already.

[WESS]

Didn't you tell me once that Pac already accepted full OST with no cut off date. What was your source??

I was being sarcastic. Team Pac claim they agreed to full random testing. It's "all he said she said".

Nobody signed anything agreeing to anything.

All we have heard is Khan talking about Pac not being ready to take the tests which if true contradicts everything they claimed they agreed to.

[venom715]

If that was the case they wouldve signed the fight on the line when floyd originally agreed to 50/50, glove size, location, 10 mill over every pound...all Manny had to do was put up or shut up....Pac refused the test so basically he shut up..

hmm you conveniently forgot the riduculous, and I emphasize ridiculous, demand from Floyd to do unlimited blood testing. I mean, come on... who the eff is Floyd to come up with such a demand when there are commissions out there who are charted with that task? If the commission asked for it and Manny ducked, he would have been crucified by everyone including me. But if I'm Manny and hear this BS request, I'd say 'take a hike buddy, who the hell do u think u are?'.

Anyway, that was then and this is now. Roach is pretty confident that Manny will KO Floyd at this stage of their careers but he's being 'nice' until the deal is sealed.

Trainer Freddie Roach was quoted by Golzka regarding Floyd Mayweather Jr. silence on a possible fight with Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino will defend his WBO welterweight title against Shane Mosley on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The promoter for Pacquiao, Top Rank, tried to reach Mayweather. He never returned their calls and the Mosley deal was finalized.

wait huh?

Just last year Mayweather was the easiest out of himself, Cotto & Shane now his style will be difficult?

[Cash Cow]

Yeah I see Manny winning this decisively.

Hopefully the fight happens so we can all move on.

he couldnt decisively beat JMM but he will decisively beat Mayweather?

It's still not NEARLY as bad as $10million/lb overweight. Don't even bother arguing, because there's no way you can refute this.

10 million per pound only applies if one ges overweight. Its s a penalty not a request. I think this makes it a fair game not that ****** testing.
