Comments Thread For: Roach: I Like Marquez More Than The Mayweather Fight

[FearAndLoathing]

I said Arum messed up by making it such a high penalty, and Floyd was intelligent by taking that and then saying "I met your demands, you meet mine now", when in fact the weight demand meant very little because Floyd is a natural 147 lber.

I've never watched a game of american football in my life so I havent a scooby who those people are, I take your point though. I do think it is a relevant comparison though because it is a very violent sport, a quick google reveals that there have been so many fatal injuries in football over the last 5 years that manufactures have made a conscience effort to change the equipment for the better. Add in the fact there are no weight divisions and its a non argument.

Let me make my point again, Floyd test demands are perfectly reasonable, but he is acting like a tool in how he is going about it. The methods he is using will not work, and he knows it. He would still have leverage if he went to a commission! He could say, look Manny is REFUSING a commission. He could totally expose Manny, but he doesnt.

He has this powerful team of lawyers and **** behind him and you're telling me not one of them has said "Hey Floyd......go to the NSAC if you want this fight". Keith Kizer of the NSAC, has publicly stated, no one from team Mayweather has petitioned them about blood testing. As I say, I think Floyd would school Manny but this tells me all I need to know....

So the fact that it's taken damn year 8 years to get a third Pac-Marquez fight to happen doesn't matter?

Why take so long between fights? If Pac thought he really was better than Marquez, he would have fought him immediately after the second fight, instead of waiting another FOUR years for the guy to get older (ITS PRETTY F**KING OBVIOUS, MORON).

You ignorant Pacfarts claim JLC beat Floyd and that he was robbed. At least Floyd gave him the rematch immediately and beat him convincingly to prove that he really was better.
Pac/Roach obviously waited all those years for the guy to slow down. Your that oblivious.

Quit crying about the one handed fighter crap because by the time the second Pac-Marquez, Pac had already developed his other hand. According to Roach, he was much more improved and a complete fighter than the last time he fought Marquez

We all saw what happened, he got KD, got back up and gave Pac hell (AGAIN) for the rest of the fight. The fight played out the same as the first fight, with a lot less KD's. So how has Pac improved since the first fight if he couldn't even beat marquez convincingly.

Pac didn't even come in at the full WW limit against ****ty shane so the CW was never a problem for him. He's not draining himself to make 144 because like his own team has said, HE'S REALLY A NATURAL JR WW.

So why not fight him at 140? Cuz they already seen how ineffective Marquez is at 144.

This ^^^^^^^^^^

i think roach has always said this in every pre-fight interview, regardless of who pacquiao is fighting and his reason has always been that mayweather is a "runner." well, did he not watch the floyd-mosley fight? floyd showed us the same fighting spirit he exhibited in his 130 days in that fight... against a big puncher might i add. he walked thru mosley. does he honestly believe that real boxing fans are still dumb enough to buy into that nonesense?

well said. that fight changed eveeryones perspective...this fight with marquez will show us nothing except that marquez has still got something left. too bad manny couldnt just move down to 140 where theres a lot of action, since he wont take a random blood test and Martinez is too big.
