Comments Thread For: Roach Worried About Pacquiao's Motivation With Bradley

[ihatebobarum]

How anyone can suggest that Tim belongs in the same ring with Manny is beyond me. Bradley's biggest contest did not draw flies.
This fight will do very poor business.
Floyd's selection of Cotto was made out of the need to fight a man with a Country behind him.
That means big PPV numbers.
Bradley's following consists of four cheerleaders from his High School days.
Pac is looking for an easy mark after his tough, third Marquez adventure.
I can't blame him for taking an easier road after that encounter.
As for Mayweather, he would rather spend 3 months in prison then 12 stanzas with Manny. That much is clear.

shut the f••k up you muppet. u don't know s**t bout boxing.

Pac better bring it cuz we all know Bradley will.

so basically Roach is saying "If Pacquiao Lose and/or Struggles with Bradley...Then He Was Overlooking Bradley"

if you can't get up for the Consensus #1 140lbs fighter and a Top 10 P4P Fighter then maybe it is time to retire

Roach knows that fight is not going to be easy and they can't build a edge over Bradley before the fight like their other fights by fighting at a Weight that Bradley won't be comfortable with...I wouldn't be shocked if this fight doesn't get signed, somebody might be having some Second Thoughts lol

Bumping this intelligent comment lol, most on here are so invested into Team Pac that they are blind to all of their vulnerabilities. Whether he fights Marquez or Bradley next, I think Pac's luck has run out.

Here we go again with the negative comments coming out of the Pacquiao camp so-as to sell the fight... It's breathtaking the contempt these people have for the buying public. This fight is actually compelling and will sell itself as opposed to a fight with Marquez in which you already know what to expect.

Judging by the fact that Roach preferred to fight Cotto and Peterson tells me that he's genuinely concerned about Bradley.

Well said bradley can do what marquez did and he's fresher sharper and slightly quicker. Anyone who thinks this is a wipeout is a fanboy.

I'd steer the other way away from bradley too risky with them headbutts seriously I know its not intentional but it happens often with him I wouldn't put my fighter in there with him pac can make more money with marquez besides its the fight the fans would rather see at this point.

With all indications pointing to pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao defending his WBO welterweight title against undefeated WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley on June 9 in Las Vegas, trainer Freddie Roach is a little concerned about whether Pacquiao can fire himself up for such a fight.

what a ****** quote and story and really how can roach be such an idiot??? he supposedly had the "best" training camp ever and was 110% against Marquez only to be *****slapped all around the ring a beaten and out-classed clearly! Pac prepares his best for every fight roach himself always says "pac never underestimates anybody" so please save the macho talk, pac is going to prepare like never before because hes coming off a LOSS and his "win" over JMM is only on PAPER! I can tell you who will get up for this fight,Bradley is and will and Pac better be ready cuz bradley has the style, athletcism youth speed and determination to give Pac a LOT of problems, Pac should be considered a favorite against Bradley but pac is coming 2 abysmal performances back to back, crappy fight against mosley and a loss against JMM, Roach is an idiot if he beleives this will be anything but a FIGHT, to me pac is fading and this will expose yet more truth.

[bojangles1987]

If he isn't motivated, he's in trouble. At the very least, Pacquiao will look really bad in a win if he isn't every bit at his best

[Gary Coleman]

do i smell pre-emptive excuses? bradley is a tough fight, but pacquiao will likely beat him, though I wouldnt be shocked if bradley pulled out a win...

Spot on with the first post!

I think they've learned their lesson from Marquez III. Between the Marquez and Mosley bouts, there is a blueprint on how to trouble the **** out of Pacquiao. Roach knows this better than anyone.

I can see Bradley winning this fight if he remains disciplined.

[nycsmooth]

I don't get up 4 this 1, Bradley doesn't have speed, punch or tech skills to stay w/Pac who's picking beatable names to retire & mark my words: he'll do this till he retires as to not tarnish his juice-induced, "not facing FM" legacy...
