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

[Come∂ian]

I don't understand the whole who scored a knockdown logic.

I mean if you want to go that route. One can point out that Mosley wanted to quit. Because, of his blister on his foot, that couldn't allow him to move in the direction that Richardson want it him to against Pac. But, Richardson told him No cuz' basically he was in no danger.

Against Floyd. Richardson was thinking about stopping the fight because he felt Mosley was in danger..."Don't make me do something that I don't want to to Shane."

But, all this is actually irrelevant.

What matters is that when Floyd fought Mosley that was the best fight that could have been made at WW at the time that didn't involve Pac.

When Pac fought Mosley that was NOT the best fight that could have been made at WW that didn't involve Floyd.

Manny couldn't cut off the ring to save his life, that's a fact.

true...all kings saw that.... peasants are blind to such things

At least Manny honors those catchweights and it takes two people to make a fight so you can blame those who agreed as well not just Manny.

manny is the 1 askin for the catchweights not his opponents and you seem to forget that marquez wanted to fight floyd because manny didn't want to fight him again so marquez said that he wanted to fight the real p4p best fighter in mayweather but to make that fight happen marquez asked for the catchweight and just like mannys opponents don't have to except the fights neither did marquez when floyd didn't make 144

While I do believe Roach is a great trainer, he is also annoying as ****. We all know Team Pacquiao wants no part of Floyd OR random OST. Floyd's been putting pressure on him for basically all of 2011, and instead we get Mosley and a blown-up Marquez.

What else really needs to be said?

They're going to keep taking these easy fights, because they'll make millions of dollars for very little work.

I only WISH I could make that kind of money for taking such little risk.

Manny needs to step up to the plate, and reaffirm himself as the p4p #1.

And the ONLY way he can do that, is to fight either Floyd Mayweather, or Sergio Martinez. And we know he's not going to fight Sergio. (Nor should be be expected to, quite frankly.)

So you didn't watch the Pac/Mosley fight yet huh? Must not have because both fighters looked crappy. Pac said he had cramps in his legs and Mosley had blisters and hurt feet from Corley's shoes. Sure Pac won but he didn't look good doing it because of Mosley's movement and that is my point .

is that what u called footwork, i called it backpedalling

[GRUSTLER]

Pac look like crap but Mosley face was more ***ed up then compared to Floyd awesome display of boxing skills..



ohh and who scored a knocked down again?

Pac scored the KD but who fought who when they were winning again? Listen, I'm not here to deny what Manny did to Mosley in their fight but fact of the matter is that Mosley was shot to hell when he fought Pac and in that fight Pac did not look good himself performance wise and blamed it on cramping legs. Are you denying this?

manny scored a knockdown yet looked frustrated against a fighter that was pretty much in front of him all night,all shane really did was circle to the left where as floyd gets hurt in the 2nd round then go on to dominate the fight and even was playing around at times

[SyrianUser]

Okay so why doesnt Floyd fight him then? DLH came off a dominant win over Forbes and did very well against Mayweather only to lose by a single point SD.

they took that fight and yes at 147 but get this Mayweather and DLH both agreed that their rematch would be fought at 147 or atleast that was the verbal agreement everybody knew that.

All i know is that Pacquiao never fought De La Hoya at his natural weight + De La Hoya only came off a decision victory against Forbes .



When De La Hoya fought Mayweather , Mayweather moved up in weight to fight him at his natural weight and De La Hoya came off a KO victory against Mayorga , De La Hoya finished Mayorga in the 6th round .



Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao , but he wants a full random blood and urine test for the fight , people claim that its the BIGGEST fight of all time so we need to be sure that the winner didnt cheat .

I call it movment over all and Pac hasn't been used to that from a fighter in a long while because usually his opponents are walking towards him with their hands down. When Pac had to finally initiate the fight he didn't know how to effectively stop Shane from being a track star. You know who knew how to cut a ring off? Kosta Tsyzu. I remember in the Zab Judah fight when he was walking Zab down and closing the distance and finally got him out of their and made him do the chicken dance. Manny needs his opponent to pressure him inorder to look good because Pac throws numerous punches and uses angles. He rearely had to go after his opponent. This is me talking about boxing here and not about coming down hard on Pac. You don't have to agree because this is just my opinion.
