Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Won't Be Easy, But Pacquiao Wins

[umop-ap!sdn]

He just beat a plodding jr welterweight coming off a loss that he was supposed to seriously hurt and ko now clowns on here saying he's back. Cut it out money dominates him. I wonder where all that ko power he had went. That being said he did still had very good footwork and beautiful angles but he's not beating money plain and simple

IT went when the testing for PED's became prominent subject in the sport. Gee i wonder why..

If Arum wants the fight, they will FIGHT!!

Let's hope Floyd pulls that same thing he did right before he went to jail, and call Pac out vigrously.

Of course Roach it's going to say that Manny wins! He is the trainer for Manny! Everyone it's in the fan wagon again for Manny because he beat a cheap imitation of Margarito? Who was Rios? What kind of credentials he has? The only reason the choose him it's because the way he fights! He has no movement, he is robatic and that made Manny look awesome, and all the fools fall for it. Boxing its a disgrace with all these PPV crap! The build it like if its the endo of the world and ****** fans dish out money for these uneven fights that should be on open tv....

This saga is growing tired.... wanted the fight so bad but Floyd still looks pretty much prime and Manny looks good but not good like he should to fight Floyd. Depressing but the truth. This fight will never live up to what it should have been, should it ever actually happen.

It doesn't matter if Roach wants the Mayweather fight. The guy who has to want it is Pacquaio.....or more accurately it's up to Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum.

i can link you to various articles that arum does give manny leeway to whom he chose to fight. i can also link you to some articles that manny has sent an emissary to mayweather's gym to make the fight possible. we are both biased fans here. but if ever speculation without accompanying videos or well credentialed articles are banned in this forum. there's be a 70% decreased in post by floyd's fans.

Should this fight occur, I still don't see Manny wining unless he KO's Floyd. If the Manny that fought last night steps in with Floyd he really has no chance. Why, because Manny was hesitant to let his hands go in situations where he normally is an out right beast. Those slight pauses that the fair weather boxing fan does not see or notice would lead one to think Pac still has a chance.
Freddie is suppose to say and believe his fighter can win. I think Manny needs one more fight to shake off the rust and build his confidence (against anybody he chooses) before fighting Floyd to make a competitive fight.
The Manny that makes for a dangerous opponent for Floyd is the Manny that takes unpredictable chances with no hesitation. Should that Manny return, you'll have that fight that's worth paying 100 dollars for on PPV.

Dead honest truth right there. Everyone was saying before the fight that Rios is tailor made for Manny, now same people talking like the 12th round win was some big revelation in the career of Pacman. They should be worried that he wasn't able to put him out with ALL those shots he landed.

Politics aside, I think Pacq-Broner would be more competitive. I don't think Pacq beats Bradley now.

Beating Rios is not a reliable gauge on being an elite fighter.

haha of course. roach said rios was a club fighter and manny had to knock him out. couldnt do it and rios never seemed really hurt

Keep telling yourself that. And way to admit your a biased fan. Can't take any of your posts about this seriously anymore. Floyd fan or not Im gunna keep it 100 on the matter.

Pac is not ducking Floyd, but his "team" is avoiding the fight. Arum mostly.
