Comments Thread For: Roach Says Pacquiao-Bradley II Could Be Real Stinker

[Boskop]

Right. pac looked amazing. After being KOd cold,and a year layoff...He put on a masterful showcase. Took a ****er like Rios and turned him into a clam!

Man, ur giving Rios too much credit. It was just a showcase fight and didnt prove anything. We'll see whats left of him when he faces a real boxer like Marquez or Bradley again. Provo is too slow and inexperienced to give Manny any trouble, it would be a Margarito/Rios allover again, who would wanna see something like that again?
But hey, Roach is the chicken to says this making Manny look bad, I believe he wouldnt have any trouble facing Bradley again and I think it would be an excellent fight

This is probably why there is such a delay with Team Pac and Top Rank...
I think Manny wants Bradley but Arum and Roach don't want it because Bradley has been gathering steam so to speak and Pac is mid way through rebuilding, so Provodnikov is being shoved into the mix.

So Freddy is going to sacrifice one of his fighters ( whom, I admit, will make a career high payday, cause he'll never have the name to lure Floyd) , instead of fighting arguably the FOTY in Bradley, to make sure Manny looks good for 2015? That's crazy. I hope it works out for Tim. He can take a soft touch ( he's earned it) and fight Floyd in September, and Pac will be the May fight.

Freddie ain't no dummy.

Bradley UDs Pacquaio if they ever meet again.

This sounds like a clear duck.

Roach doesn't want any of Bradley; He knows his boy will be outboxed this time.

Bull****.

JMM KO'd Pacquiao, not Bradley. Bradley didn't do ****.

Pacquiao beat the brakes of Bradley and was clearly robbed. Outlanded him. Hit him harder. It annoys me that, as a fan, we have to even entertain a rematch with Tim. He should have a '1' in his loss column, no matter how many Bradley fans want to change history and describe a completely different fight than the one that actually occurred. Pacquiao has few fights left. I don't want to see him fight a guy he already clearly beat, in a fight that wasn't all that exciting to begin with.

sometimes roach just needs to stfu and just train ur fighters!!

Roach is correct, Bradley will try to outbox Manny and Manny won't look good although he's probably better than Bradley. However, if they give him Ruslan, Ruslan will stand in front of Manny, while Manny run circles around him avoiding the big punch, and wins a UD in 12. Funny thing is when Manny uses his footwork and angles, it isn't called running, but people hate on Rigo, Lara and Floyd for the same thing. The sport is called BOXING, not SLUGGING.

does any of those fighters u mention turns back around and engage their opponent in a 4-5 punch combos??? thats the difference! manny moves out of the way but he comes back right away and throws bombs at u as compare to the other fghters u mention who moves out of the way and continue to move out of the way then throws 1 punch and continue to move again.

How can you duck a guy you've already fought? And beaten pretty clearly in almost everyone's mind.
