Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach: This is Not The End of Manny Pacquiao

[turnedup]

Marquez/Bradley both coming off wins over Manny.

You mean Marquez..because calling Bradley a winner of that fight is about as real as sasquatch making cat videos for youtube..he got the judges nod despite losing 9 rounds of 12.

Yeah I got to agree. Manny took Jmm lightly he thought just because he beat a few guys that are a few inches taller than him and out weight him by 15-20 pounds -Margarito,Cotton,Cottey,Mosley etc. That Jmm was going to be easy, I agree and I think he has been overconfident about Marquez. The way he leaped in at the end was reminiscence of a Ricky hatton type of move.

Orrrrrrr, maybe just maybe, crazy idea here but... Maybe he just can't beat him. If he can't outbox him and seemingly can't out slug him than that must mean something. Just because he is faster and hits harder doesn't mean a damn thing if u can't beat the man.

Well considering their quadruple fight set has a record officially states 2-1-1....and could easily have been 3-1 if it wasn't for a point mistake in the first fight..

Suffering concussions is ok when you're young but when you're an aging fighter with as many wars as Manny has had, I think you should just hang em up and avoid further damage.

I think roach knows that, but if he lost Pacquiao he would have nothing. He has no other world class prizefighters left.

Ehh, that's boxing politics. Even an UNBIASED blind man sees those 3 fights as draws (I thought Marquez endged out the 3rd one). But nevertheless pacquiao has been wanting to knock him out since day 1 and after this fight it just proves who the winner of the series was, the record is just a formality.

JMM is truly a gifted fighter. He's just as unique as the Pacman. As for Pacman, it's okay man. You got nothing to prove. Coming out reckless for the sake of the fight just made me respect you even more. After finally regaining consciousness, Pac looked like he never got KOed. He kept smiling and stayed humbled. True champ man, true champ.

He's only saying that because the end of Manny Pacquiao would spell the end of Freddie Roach. And Freddie isn't ready to walk away. Then again, he's not the one taking the punches anymore.

Exactly, if he really cared for Manny and not the money it brings him he would have been telling him to hang them up years ago.

there has been alot more research lately on the negative effects of suffering multiple concussions in sports. Suffice to say it can lead to debilitating headaches, lethargy and blurred vision later in life.

Anyone who has Twitter should read Victor Contes Tweets... This fight had NO EXTENSIVE DRUG TESTING PERIOD. Marquez bigger stronger with Angel..

It didn't have any testing because Manny didn't want it either. Stop crying like the piple faced 16 year old girl that you are and congratulate JMM!!!!

I don't care what any of them say, I think he's done.
