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

[LouIE G]

I think Manny might be a bit faster than Floyd, and Manny hits harder as well, according to JMM in an interview with Pacquiao for espn I believe. It's somewhere on YouTube; the reporter asked who hits harder and faster, Juan smiled and pointed at Manny.

Footwork, I think is equal. Floyd is more intelligent though.

With that said I think Manny gives Floyd serious problems. I'm a Manny fan and a Floyd fan, I just wish Floyd would have the balls to fight Manny.

If anyone beats Floyd, it's Manny Pacquiao.

I agree,and also feel bradley could beat floyd as. Well..

Roger and Floyd Sr : "Floyd will win"

Roach : "Pacquaio will win"

Fanboys: This guy is on PED, that guy is a ducker, this guy is unstoppable, this guy is a defensive genius, your mother, your father, you hater, you flowmo, you pac-tard..


The rest of us : May the best man win on that given night...

It won't happen, Floyd is too scared. If you take out all the hurdles and obstacles of this fight happening which are legitimate, they wouldn't exist if Floyd was fighting Joe Blow with average speed, average stamina, and little to no punching power. Floyd calls the shots and he has earned that right. With that said, his decision making process is no longer about him winning and getting another victory, but about NOT LOSING. There is a difference.

He basically admitted this indirectly in several interviews by saying that he could retire tomorrow, that his legacy doesn't depend on beating anybody including Pacquiao. In other words just don't lose and have a few more fights that get you paid. Now with Pacquiao, he may be a cheater or PED user, but he is still the guy who doesn't care if he losses and takes fights because he wants to win. HE WANTS WINS and not just fights where he doesn't lose, there is a difference in the thought process. If you only fight to NOT LOSE, your whole attitude is different. And now I will bow out and let you kiddo's break my post down with your oh' so superior intellect and rebuttals.

lmao!!! floyd could get the ref to stop it with khan i think and manny has never fought anyone as sharp as floyd, marquez caught manny with hella counters but risked alot doing so. i think floyd would capitalize on what marquez exposed in mannys style mainly because of the reach advantage he would have. manny leaves himself open often its just a matter of are you fast enough and can time it perfect

TRUE.....But floyd has now power

manny will keep coming

I am a Pac fan but it would take Floyd a round and a half, maybe less, to figure out Manny. And then he would dominate Pac for the remaining rounds. I'd be shocked otherwise.

Same here. I will be pulling for Manny but Floyd will easily outbox and outsmart him. One of the most offensive fighters in history versus the best defensive mind in boxing and defense wins.

But this fight will never happen because Manny and Floyd are the biggest cherrypickers in the sport.

Nice avi btw.

Pac has been ready for close to 5 years to fight Floydie. Problem is, Floydie is chicken... eh... I mean... Floydie has certain criteria which have obviously not been met... hence the delays. HA!

Roach's comments are predictable and for him to utter anything else would be insane at this point. The legions of delusional Pacquiao fans whose spirits were lifted by the utterly irrelevant win against Rios still won't face reality. Oh not because they love Pacquiao that much and pray he mystically rises from the ashes, its that they hate Mayweather that much, which means they cheer and hype anyone not Mayweather. Look how many loonies lined up behind Canelo and thought he had a legitimate chance to win?

No Manny wouldn't win against Mayweather whether he was in his prime, fighting now or actually had Jesus on his side.

[ddangerous]

Still the fight I want to see.

[Lou Cipher]

Mayweather managed to duck Pac all these years, no reason hes gonna give up his 0 now

The sad thing about some Pacquiao fans is that they've turned their delusions into a lifestyle choice.
