Comments Thread For: Roach Rips Ellerbe: All Mayweather Has To Do is Sign!

[jcpryor]

Roach's go-to line seems to be "Who the **** is ____?"

[AFighter4U]

Pac should have been able to cut Mosley off and beat his ass. shane wasn't even throwing punches. I do agree with you that it was a horrible choice considering Arum even said that Shane was done after Mora and that he would not be in the ring with Pac.

I saw some of the Clottey fight but I fell asleep watching it. I think Clottey had a style to give Pac more problems but I always believed and still do that Joshua Clottey is Top Rank's fall guy but that is just my opinion. Granted, Clottey didn't want to engage but that doesn't take away the fight that Margarito put Pac out of commission for a month after the fight where Pac broke Margarito's face. Lets call it how it is and that is Pac is easy to hit.

Floyd is not only Pac's most difficult opponent but Floyd is the boxer to beat Pac up and exposed the holes that no other fighter could because of lack of defense and being slower. I think Manny is a exciting fighter but if he is put in the ring with a fighter who has a technical fight game, defense and footwork then his fights won't be as dominate as they were since JMM. Really curious to see what happens this weekend with JMM.

i think the cause of Manny's being out of commission after the margarito fight was that body punch in the 8th round when manny's left hand was temporarily caught in the ropes and he was wide open for the body punch.

and yes, i agree with you that i'm interested to see what happens this weekend with JMM (should have been at 140 though. @)#*(%(@ you BOB!)

And now Floyd had done exactly what Arum did last year. He announced that he is willing to fight Pac and that he has a date and a venue ready. It was good enough for you then, why not now?

Sounds like the ball is now in Arum/Pac's court to me.

nope. it wasn't good enough for me what Arum did. i believe the fight could have been made if Bob actually tried to make the fight happen or if Manny demanded it. (he should have called floyd's bluff and took the test).

manny and bob failed to call floyd's bluff and i fault them for it.

now, floyd has to CALL ARUM'S BLUFF.

[AFighter4U]

yes but it is invalid because team pac made it so by refusing to agree to the drugtesting and submitting a new proposal...only to agree to it later supposedly. roach proly doesnt understand this but arum does. there is no contract to sign. one must be drawn up

if they did agree to the tests, then why isn't floyd holding them to it? floyd should call arum's bluff.

personally, all this could have easily been resolved if Manny just called floyd's bluff and take the test.

i said this before in another thread, that i believe a younger, less prideful manny would have jumped at the chance to fight floyd and took the test.

[Yaconcha]

whats the big deal? take the test,its all he has to do to give freddie what he deserves.........a loss to pacman at the hands of fmj on EQUAL AND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
freddie likes being a somebody, without a winning fighter he will fade back to obscurity so, really you can see why he wont take the test.
floyd already commited to the fight but, pacman wont take the test.
thats it. take the test, put money where mouth is.
take the test, and prove everyone hes right but, he knows he cant beat floyd without the sheeeit man.
****in sniff head.
freddie roach trains khan and khan is ****in dogfood.
come back to england and face burns or mitchell or kell brook.
see who the **** is then.

I dont agree with alot of things Bob Arum says and does, he can be a snake and a liar but why is it always **** Arum when it comes to Pacquiaos opponents and contract demands? I realize he is the promoter and is a big part of it but you are kidding yourself if you think he just tells Pacquiao how its going to be and Manny has no imput. If Pacquiao wanted to fight Marquez at 140 it would have happened at 140.

interesting point you have there.

you're right though. Manny should have pushed to fight marquez at 140.

[lacson]

Easy there Roach. I seem to remember the last Mayweather's name was on a contract, your team baulked. So I suggest you STFU.

Goof.

Just man up and fight if you want to fight no chicken s**t excuses like everyone else. Take your lumps like a man. When someone has chicken s**t excuses, they need to be branded chicken s**t.

[Check_hooks]

roach is just mad that he ain't black

[Clegg]

floyd singed it about 20 times...

Why not just sign it once?
