Comments Thread For: Roach: I Told Amir in The Fifth, Zab is Looking For Help

[Dave Rado]

Freddie is doing a great job with Amir, but helping him to avoid the guy (Breidis Prescott) that knocked him out won't protect his legacy from being tarnished as a paper champion. This is a 40 year old talking. To be great, you have to make an attempt to rematch, especially if your a young fighter.

Pacquiao didn't rematch Torrecampo or Singsurat. Do you think that means Pac was a paper champion when he beat Barrera? Duran didn't rematch Kirkland Laing or even Ken Buchanan. Do you think Duran was a paper champion? If you do you're an idiot. If you don't, you are guilty of serious double standards.

The fact is that Prescott isn't rated in the top 25 at Jr Welterweight, and until he is, it would be ridiculous for Khan to fight him.

Think of this subjectively for a second, everybody says Ariza is juicing Manny with illegal substances thats why hes "scared" of the test, so some claim Ariza is pumping Khan too via guilt by association. Khan on the other hand is not afraid of the tests and is more than willing to take it. So now everybody says Khan is clean but Manny is not. So does that make Ariza not dirty? Just Manny, the lone wolf?

I think most of you love conspiracy theories too much. I dont think Manny is dirty, and I think the requirement of drug testing is a Floyd mental game. But with that said, drug testing is now a requirement of Floyds that Manny will have to agree to to fight him. And once he understands that, I think he will.

actually, its more that people think that pac is juicing by himself, as if pac knows where to get them power pellets and how to use them effectively. do these haters really think pac himself knows where to get them power pellets and how to use them effectively? if you really look at pacs walk around weight and fight nite weight since featherweight, its not like pac gained alot of weight...

most boxers gain more weight from official weigh-in to fight nite weight than pac ever did since coming from featherweight up til jr middleweight weighin of 147...haters --> :wank:

lets also keep in mind, that pac doesnt fight the same way he did as a featherweight and below...pac since moving up to lightweight has become more of a methodical boxer, moving side to side and in and out...breaking down his opponants with over whelming punch rate.

lets also not forget that prescott got a good one punch KO, pre roach.
with roach, khan is now a different boxer.
pre roach, i always thought khan was somewhat over rated,
with roach, now i believe khan is the top 140 fighter and could be a TOP 5, if not a TOP 3 welterweight...u might think i dont know boxing, but atleast im not one of those guys that picked judah over khan and said "if you think khan will beat judah, u dont know jack about boxing" <-- :wank:

When a grown man with tattoos says he's got a phobia of needle's you know he's bull****tin

So yes, he has refused to take the test, you tool

ur an idiot.

[Laborer]

Show us where Manny said HIMSELF that he is afraid of needles??? It was some idiot in his camp that said that. Sure you can still blame Pac for it, but Pac never said it. Just like Leonard Ellerbe said that Floyd never used Xylocaine, but Floyd himself has yet to deny it and it has been documented that Floyd used them!!! Speaker on your behalf can lie on your behalf without incriminating you!

Truth is that Pac is ultra superstitious and his last loss was against Morales where the commission curiously lost his blood test. So Pac had to give blood one day before the fight...which he passed, of course! FLOYD KNOWS ALL OF THIS AND IS USING THE TEST AS A MIND GAME!! Also his crazy dad and crazier uncle both think Pac is on peds.

DATS RIGHT, YO!

50mllion dollars fight against Floyd never got made becoz of superstition? That his skills is not enough to overcome that? I wonder if the Olympics had ever let someone off the hook on the account of an athlete's superstitious beliefs? Probably never. And we're only talking about ****in medal, not a 50million deal!
