I have no problem with Pac being silent but it should be a team decision. If Pac is quiet then Roach and his entourage should be quiet too or it just looks like he doesnt speak for himself. One thing about trash talking is that its an art. Some got it some dont. Maybe Manny doesnt have it in him. My personal preference is that the fighter I route for would have something to say but it wouldnt turn me against them.
Now do we really think Floyd hates manny? Of couse not. Floyd is good for fight hype. If he could get manny to engage then the fight takes on an extra audience. I know guys who like sports but dont really care for boxing. If they run a back and forth trash talkin competition on ESPN it'll just fatten them checks. Floyd did the same with Gatti. He called him a C fighter and a has been. After the fight all hugs and respect. It will be the same when he spanks Pacquiao. Imagine if Ali didnt have all those stiffs to poke at. It would make for a better story if he had some competition with the "lip service". His talkshow wrestling match with Frazier is classic. Without Floyd's mouth and FB the fight would lose considerable momentum. Floyd is a fight promotions dream. Personal legal issues, a big mouth, and undefeated.
