Comments Thread For: Roach Expects 'New' Pacquiao To Overwhelm Tim Bradley

[JAS_JAS]

Yeah I actually bought that damn PPV. Clottey fought nothing like he normally does i.e. vs Marg, Judah, Corrales(RIP), and Cotto. Instead he just sat there in his shell defense the majority of the fight. There were spurts where he seemed annoyed and would come out of it and then land on Pacquiao seemingly at will. Then he would step off the gas and go back to his shell again. He basically showed up for his payday that night. My assumption is that Arum gave him that fight under the condition that he made sure to not win. How else to do that then to just cover up and do nothing. I guarantee if he wasn't under Top Rank he would have took it to Pac and went all out. A win against Pacquiao would have put his name on the map and his stock would have skyrocketed. I think Arum gave Bradley the same deal...

conspiracy theorist number 2...

Why is this dude always "New"?, aaint this his 3rd time being "new". And wjy was all this ********, drinking & late night/cheating on his wife stuff replaced by a nice humble cover by the media?
Now we gotta deal with being swamped with Mr Bible Study, attached at the hip to his wife, too nice to fight BS.
man this dude is a fraud thru and thru.

I always worry when a boxer loses their desire to hurt their oponent's, particularly when their principal asset is their offense like Pacquiao. Eubank was never the same when he lacked the spite to KO his foes in the ring.

Roach is using up all his excuses too early. By the time he's done making excuses he'll have to use the leg cramp excuse morning after the fight. He needs to mum up for now. Instead of blowing his wad too dam early.

I think he's a great fighter but am almost certain he isn't clean. There's like a 95% chance Pacquiao cheats with steroids in my mind. Love to see them combos but I see too many indicators. Not taking tests when everyone else seems to be taking (recently Cotto, Peterson who was caught, Overeem in MMA was also caught) Pacquiao refusing is admitting guilt, no matter how you see it, it smells really bad. If I was 12 and thought boxing was a video game I'd probably be a big Pacquiao fan but I'm allot older than wiser than that so no, this **** isn't gonna fly.

fair enough with the bold part, but the rest is just not normal thinking, because he is a safety first fighter he doesnt want to get respect because if does, he woudnt act like a child and a douche all the time, safety first fighters with self preservation mottos dont fight the opponents fight just to make a point, they will just win, the hell with what other people think...

To each its own but Floyd did stand straight up against Mosley,Ortiz and now Cotto. Maybe his legs are gone or maybe not but he still fought the fights head up with them. He backed Mosley down and did it a lil to Ortiz and he had Cotto backing up at times too. Listen, I think Floyd is a douche at times too but lets not let the personal opinion alter the way you see his fights.

[Rapid Counter]

maybe you should tell that to floyd because from what i heard from floyd ,manny is this superhuman fighting machine with bullets bouncing off of him, hence the roadblocks...

What's Floyd got to do with anything? This thread is about pac vs Bradley.

This is lame man, fighters who are still just a few steps away to be considered by many as elite fighters would rather win the biggest fights of their lives and earn the respect by many, and on top of that be the future cash cow by his promoter... Why do you think Arum made Tony and Cotto fight in the first place, or Manny and Cotto, he was trying to establish his own in house cash cow among his top tier fighters, and if Bradley is the future, why wouldn't Arum permit this to happen??!!!
