Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao's Speed Will Overwhelm Mayweather

[PulpFriction]

If they fought i think pacquaio could tag mayweather a few times but ultimately floyd would just give manny fits especially in the middle of the ring.

Man, this is too funny. It's the same old song before and after every Pac fight and you idiots still can't connect the dots. They're just using Mayweather's name to build back interest in Pac, it's the same **** everytime. Roach knows this fight will never happen and he doesn't believe a word he's saying.

[Nomadic]

His speed got him knocked out with Marquez.

if it's so easy then why don't Cherrypicker take the fight

[mathed]

I think Floyd could win a decision against Pac but it would be a close fight, like a difference of two rounds or something. Floyd is able to adjust enough that he would eek out more landed punches due to his movement and defense. There will come a point in which he realizes that he can't turtle shell up the entire fight and he has to take chances.

Pac scares him with his ability to land so many punches in succession. Floyd should be the favorite but he acts like he doesn't want it.

How is Floyd still catching this when he is coming off of a win against Canelo at a 152 catchweight while Manny is coming off of a win at 147 against an undersized and limited Rios? I understand sports fans have their favorite, but at this point the hyperbole is insane. Floyd is the man in boxing right now. Pac needs him, not the other way around.

this time around though I will not put any blame on Arum or Pac if it fails to be made in 2014. Pac is the underdog, for good reason. Floyd is p4p #1 and there is a short list of opponents to make PPV.

what would you rather pay for

Floyd vs Bradley
Floyd vs Khan
Floyd vs Cotto II
Floyd vs Alexander
Floyd vs Garcia

or Floyd vs Pac

and don't even start with the fantasy match-ups like Floyd vs Hopkins or GGG or Sergio Martinez because those fights are really never ever ever ever happening. Pac is and always will be the guy that has the public's interest when it comes to Mayweather. For those saying Manny and Roach use Floyd to promte themselves, well guess what it works both ways. The world wanted Pac to destry Mayweather and hardcore boxing fans favored Floyd. You think the world became harcore fans overnight? most still wish for Manny to knock Floyd out and will pay to see it. Im a big fan of Floyd and pure boxing but this is the truth on the matter and why this fight should be consider sooner rather than not or never.

Well said. Floyd can't escape the inevitable. The fight is inching closer and closer. Flowmos you guys should embrace it and rally your boys coz wether you like it or not it still is the superfight.

Floyd Made Cotto & Mosley Wait More Than 10 Yrs, Too Dangerous In Their Prime

And Manny has waited more than 5 years, and still no hair on Floyd's ballz to take the fight, after Pac agreed to all Floyd's demands. Pacquiao has always been under-estimated by fans, yet he's destroyed everyone he's fought. EVERYONE. Bradley the fix was in, and JMM got sliced and diced and knocked down, was out of gas, behind on all scorecards before he landed his Hail Mary. Pacquiao is still the same great fighter he's always been. Rios was to be a dangerous fight for Manny, all the blogs, the experts, the fans talked about how Rios was going to retire Manny, how he was going to test Manny's chin, knock him out late, he's too big and strong for Manny who is shot, and will never be the same after JMM.... you can read all those quotes and headlines here!!! Sunday morning, Rios face looked like he'd been beaten with a baseball bat, never got off a punch, was afraid to unleash his power, and got humiliated, losing every round. I reminded everyone, just as Alvarado was exposed by Provo, Alvarado & Rios are both B-Level fighters at BEST. THEIR ONLY claim to fame is they beat each other. But you couldn't convince fans that. Now nobody is around to claim, they bet all their money on Rios. Bottom line, Pacquiao is still the same dangerous fighter he's always been, and that's the reason Floyd Mayweather STILL won't climb in the ring with Pac... way too much risk still. He's waiting for someone else to end Manny, so he doesn't have to hear the questions, "Why have you ducked Manny Pacquiao all these years"?

[Drunk Punch]

It's crazy both Manny and Floyd are in their mid thirties and still haven't fought each other.

[ADP02]

It's too bad they ducked Mosley because he was "too good".. It's no wonder they ducked Mayweather. Must have been "too great".

Roach talking about Mayweather yet Pac has yet to face a legit welter weight since 2009.. and even then he needed a catchweight.. lol

You don't need to go that far back to see Floyd doing the CW thingy .... Now go laugh at Floyd
