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

[puga]

Floyd would hustle Pac into what ever he wanted. Bob is what keeps Pac in check. Don't get it twisted.

JMM didn't get hustled, JMM came to fight and was out to prove he could beat Floyd and collected more money in doing so. Some experts predicted it would be Floyd's toughest match up. I didn't see it that way and in no way do I accept what Floyd did for that fight as far as weight is concerned. It was ****** but he still whooped up on the last man known to take Pac to hell twice. Which was his intent I suppose. Either way Pac still wont fight JMM at the end of the day. Still isnt ready for the tests according to Khan (or is Khan a con?) and Roach is saying that they "could win"... Not sounding so confident. I guess only time will tell.

BTW do the reserch you should know this about Pac, if you where a REAL fan of Pac's and not just a Floyd hater fan boy. I happen to like Pac I just think that Pac would get beaten by the most technically sound fighter possibly to ever lace them up. That might be giving Floyd too much credit but most technically ever or not, Pac would still get technically clowned in the fight. There is a reason Pac has yet to face a fighter with a certain style in a very long time. Just think, put the hate away and think about it.

now youre dreaming.....do my research?... catchweight of 111 for 112?..lol....where did you get the nerves boy?....

Roach is fool himself he knows dam well that pac is to dumb to adjust on the fly pac will do the same shiiit over and over again.you wont beat may that way.pac has to be taught a fight plan so what happen when none of the plans work. He becomes exactly what he is a pattern fighter.so no pac wont beat may but will look more foolish then marquez did

[punchmehard]

No he did not accept the challenge because he backed out because he didnt like the dates of the test. if pac is clean than why didnt he do it. he gave up a 40 million dollar payday because of a test. That doesn't seem odd to you? and its not like floyd ask pac to do the test himself. he was willing to do it himself and did so when he fought Mosley. You can defend pac all you want but it was floyd that said "hey lets make this fair and have us both do blood testing to make sure we are both clean" and pac said no and made excuses from "im afraid of needles" to "i dont want to be weak" which is garbabe cause the man has tattoos which are applied with a needle. and the reason why pac and roach called floyd out again after the mosley fight was beacause they knew floyd would take time off so they used that opportunity to make it look like floyd is ducking him. pac wasnt ready for floyd but of course didnt admit it. im sure he's ready now but the facts is that pac was the first to walk away and its not fair for everyone to call floyd the dodger when he was the one that said "hey ill sign the dotted line as long as we both take test" and pac said "no". all i know is that if im a clean fighter and all i need to do is take a blood test for a 40 million dollar pay day i would have signed it with no problem. Again not saying pac is on something, but it was very suspect to react the way he did over the blood testing

we all know boxing is 80% mental. Most of us seen a video of Pacquiao saying he was weakened when they got his blood close to his first fight with Morales.

What made it unfair in the first place? They were subject to the Nevada state standard tests and these tests even caught a handful of people doing PEDS.

There are a lot of sports people that have superstitions and Pac has his.

Was the purpose of this test to find out Pacquiao was on PEDS or to get into Pac's head so he will have a mental disadvantage come fight night?

duckqiao hasn't fought anyone good.3 of floyds left overs lol

and he only fights people when they come from a big loss..every fighter he has faced came from a big loss that's a FACT.

Now he said no to JMM the man who beat him twice but said yes to floyds 3rd left over

and of course no OST

wouldnt have said clottey came off a big loss?? nearly beating cotto and the stronger of the two in the final stages, hatton fought lazcano, looked not great but apparently had the flu before hand. he then got with floyd sr, was apparently looking like the old ricky when dispatched mallignaggi- so not really coming off a huge loss! de la hoya??? dont think so, gave mayweather all he could handle, some thought he won! cotto- fair enough, no one would have been the same after getting hit with plaster! but to me cotto is one of the top fighters around still, just slightly diminished frm what marg did to him. would be hard to get over mentally. marg had been layed off and knocked out by mosley but 3 fights before pacquiao he was probs the most feared fighter. the main reason pacs achievements are superior to mayweather is simply cos mayweather had weight advantages over nearly every opponent other than, and u must agree cos both opponents have fought(will be) pac not too long after and no doubt they've been slated by u, mosley and de la hoya. whereas pacquiao was the smaller man in most contest, at the time pacquiao v cotto at welta or mayweather v the small marquez at welta? easy, pacquiao harder fight. i could go on but im bored and tired. just dont post such dumb a$$ posts , it makes u look silly.

if floyd was confident of beating pac, he would've fought him already...the boy would rather go to jail than face pac shows you how shook he is with pac....

Alas, and we revert back to the question: if it would be so easy, why is Floyd not signing to fight Pacquiao in what would assuredly be the most lucrative fight in boxing history?

Floyd knows it would not be easy. You guys act like he's infallible. Here's what I think - Floyd has been hurt by a big left hand before. Judah hurt him and Corley hurt him very badly (Floyd was rocked, his head jarred by a huge shot, and fortunately for him managed to recuperate) also with a left hand. Mosley rocked him twice in their fight, Floyd's knees were buckled. A 35 year old Oscar, for all purposes a part-time fighter, managed to trouble Floyd with aggression and meanness. Jose Luis Castillo deserved to win their first fight, getting in Floyd's face and busting him up (HBO scored it 116-113 to Castillo). I know Floyd has remarkable skills, but he's not infallible. He has been hurt. Pacquiao has the best left hand in boxing. He is quicker than any one Floyd has fought. He is extremely busy and mean and his punches come from all different angles. He wiped out Cotto, he wiped out Hatton, he wiped out Oscar and he'll wipe out Mosley. He would not wipe out Floyd, but nor would Floyd wipe him out. Pac is not as easy to hit as some say, he gets caught sometimes by virtue of sheer aggression but if Floyd sat down on right hands and tried to have a war with Pac he'd get blownout. And Floyd is too flat-footed to pick shots and stay away from Manny the full fight. In my opinion.

Let me ask you this question. if beating floyd will be easy like most people are saying, especially freddie roach, why did pacquiao walk away from the first negotiations. everyone knows its because of the testing but if your a clean fighter why would blood testing be a problem. alot of people tend to brush that under the rug. floyd was ready for the fight the first time. he even agreed to pacquiao's demands for 8 ounce gloves and 50-50 split which floyd is not known for doing. all he wanted was to do random blood testing and pacquiao backed off. I guess you dont remember that either? of course you dont because no one wants to give floyd the credit for accepting pacquiao's challenge and wanting to bring more honesty and fairness to the sport by doing blood testing. im pretty if floyd fights him and beats him convincingly haters would still find a way to play it down. and okay he got rocked by corley, de la hoya, judah, and even mosley. but he adjusted and schooled these guys so i dont think he's afraid of pacquiao's power. floyd gave him the opportunity the first time, pac backed off, so now floyd is gonna make him wait and fight him when he's ready. and plus all the legal stuff he has goin on, that man aint thinking about pacquiao right now. the fight will happen because there is too much money and stake and when floyd beats pacquiao i cant wait to hear what kind of excuses the haters will come up with

[punchmehard]

if floyd was confident of beating pac, he would've fought him already...the boy would rather go to jail than face pac shows you how shook he is with pac....

He won't even speak the name of Pac and stutters during interviews when asked regarding Pac. Pac is the "he-whose-name-we-dont-speak-of" for the Mayweathers. He gets irritated when he hears Pac's name. He either fears, jealous and or has a hidden crush on Pac.

Pac is a Voldemort to him but he is no Harry Potter.

Manny pacquiao damage is done by constant connects.
Pac won't get that many punches off on a defensive fighter
not just Mayweather. Any fighter who has some D and counter
punches can have a chance at giving Manny a hard time and
possibly beating him. We don't know yet because he hasn't
fought anybody like that in a long while. I wouldn't be
surprised if Pac's punch output got drastically decreased
against Floyd. Pac is open for all kinds of effortless
punches. Pac has speed and can hit but Floyd already
showed what he is made of by taking them 2nd rds Mosley
power shots and still closing the round out strong. Took
Pac into the late rounds to stop all of his recent opponents
with exception to Hatton and Mayweather ain't Ricky Hatton.
Floyd gets more comfortable as the fight progresses. Pac
would lose and possibly get shut down.

its floyd's b1tchass and his dumbass team that is saying pac would be easy..yet floyd b1tches out everytime....the boy gets ****ted on becuase of the garbaes he come sup with only to get in there with pac...try to shorten your post next time so nothing gets missed out plese,!

[Schmerzen]

when did i say he was?..lol...when i was talking about floyd almost getting ktfo, i was talking about corley not judah....

manny=/castillo, that response absolutely made no sense.
u say we cant compare floyd to marquez, yet you are comparing pac to castillo..
pac will land one big punch, the crowd will go crazy, and then floyd will take over just like he always does after the first 2 rounds, the crowd & his critics will be quiet.
u'll see *******s crying after the fight.

anyway.. we both now this fight isnt gonna happen until floyd is 37 & manny 35.
arum has to milk his cash cow dry first, then finally if we r lucky they'll fight
