Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather is a Very Difficult Fight For Pacquiao

[LeadUppercut]

team pac have been very vocal lately about wanting to face Floyd.

the difference this time is that they have more respect for floyd's skill as a defensive mastermind. the last fight with marquez indeed shattered the illusion of manny's invincibility and that is a GOOD THING FOR TEAM PAC.

in short, team pac with roach and co STILL want to face floyd, BUT are more cautious in their approach and since they are now more aware of manny's flaws, will most likely be better prepared should this fight finally push through.

Sure, but you completely missed the point......

" marquez indeed shattered the illusion of manny's invincibility "

Then that illusion of invincibility only existed within Team Pacquaio.

What the *** are they smoking ?

Dude..... Bruce Trampler, Bob Arum, and even Freddie Roach, are WELL-AWARE that Manny is not invincible. Go to boxrec and check who they have been matching him with.

You were right to say you didn't know cause there AIN'T ONE. JR hasn't fought ONE PRIME ELITE WW PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!! WHY if he is the GOAT ? Bull**** !!!!!!!!!!

MY beef with JR is that he ducked two primed WWs ,,COTTO and MARGO and probably others.

JR has truly lost TWO FIGHTS :

1. The 1st Castillo fight

2. The fight with Oscar De La Hoya.

Those two guys were ROBBED !!!!!!!

Yall hollar JMM was robbed, he lost 8 to 4 rounds against Pac

The JR, ODH fight was way much closer

It was a rob I tell ya,,,hahahaha

Actually Pac fought two primed WWs ,,,Cotto and Clottey,,

Why did Jr duck Cotto and Margo while they were in there prime ????

*****s: Because of Bob Arum.
Others: Because hes scared to death of loosing.

[twosweethooks]

Come on man. Stop fronting. How come Pac demanded Cotto (The champ) put his 147 WW title up at 145 catchweight after he fought De La Hoya successfully at 147? Pac has made demands but you have no problem with that. Marquez in no way can make 147.

Last I checked, WW is from 140 -147 ,,right ?

Pac came up from Flyweight and his best weight is like 144-145,,,COTTO was fine with it.

JMM got with a trainer that could shine !! He put muscle on him , he put stamina in him ,,,no telling what he put in JMM and he still couldn't beat the PAC man

Pac won 8 to 4 easy

Since you don't like to answer directly but indirectly by or with a question, answer me this:

WHY DID JR CHEAT on poor wee little fat man JMM ???????

Cotto at 145 was prime after Margarito and Clottey fights? Clottey lost to Cotto and never won any significant fight in his whole career. Mosley after Margarito and Ortiz were regarded more and prime than Cotto and Clottey. Pac hasn't fought any top fighters at WW and Floyd retired twice. Just your posts alone shows your lack of knowledge and bias outlook.

[LeadUppercut]

What a JOKESTER you are !! hahaha

JMM is a little fat blown up featherweight and went against Cheaterweather.

I would hang my head in shame to brag on Jr winning that fight. After all he did to JMM ,,,,stinks whewwwwwwwwwwwwww bad

Pac beat JMM better this time than the previous two he won, and this fight it was 8 to 4 for Pac.

Your problem is the same as everyone else , Jr has cherry picked his way to big money avoiding the elite WW's all primed and ready.

He is PURE grade A shickenshi#

What a ****head you are kid.

So, you would " hang your head in shame " over Mayweathers win.....

But you are more than happy to credit Pacquiao's win, despite the fact that he LOST according to most ringside observers, most experts/analysts, and EVERY SINGLE FIGHTER who was interviewed.

And what the *** were you thinking when you said this..... "Pac beat JMM better this time than the previous two he won".

Stop being ******, Pacquiao has NEVER beaten Marquez, and he has looked worse every time he faced him. MOST think that Marquez beat Manny in the second fight, but pretty much EVERYONE knows who won the third fight, including Pacquiao and his team.

Says who? Pac lost 3 if not definitely 2 fights from the same guy (JMM) Floyd spanked coming out of retirement. Treated JMM like a tune up and Pac still can't beat him. Cotto and Margarito? Arum dropped the ball on them deals because he didn't want to make the De La Hoya fight. I deal with facts while you deal with emotions.

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

"We're looking for guys like Ricky Hatton and 'Pretty Boy' Floyd Mayweather. So you're seeing now the finishing touches on the emerging superstar, and in 2006 hopefully he will be able to claim the mantle of the, real superstar."

Hatton emerged as the recognized 140-pound champion with his TKO of Kostya Tszyu June 11. Mayweather, the pound-for-pound king who is also promoted by Arum, stopped Arturo Gatti to claim a junior welterweight title two weeks later.

Cotto against either man would certainly qualify as a super fight, but before either match can be explored seriously, he has to keep winning."

Always laugh when people say Floyd ducked Cotto when Arum was protecting him like he does all Top Rank fighters and Margarito stepped to Floyd when Floyd wanted the Oscar fight. Floyd told him keep winning and it will be greater later. In his very next fight gets outboxed by Paul Williams and loses his title in his own back yard.

Well of course. If Roach would've said otherwise, then he would've been seriously wrong. It's a tough fight for both.

The whole sport of boxing disagrees with you homie. Floyd cheated the weight, payed the fine and JMM was cool with it. Floyd didn't use his weight to shut out JMM. That same wee lil fat man Floyd fought, would have still gave Pac a tough fight.

[mrjoeblive]

i think you are reading to much into what freddy said !!! all he was saying is if manny somehow takes mayweather lightly , he me have a little more trouble knocking out floyd than usual !!!!

whats up treason! have to disagree with you treason. roach has ALWAYS said floyd was a nightmare match for pac. and he IS saying that pac could very well be ko'd by floyd. this is nothing new for roach to say. same stuff different day.

[Chups]

Roach- Floyd is not an easy fight

Floyd: Easy work, easy work.


Floyd still ducking the fight.
