Comments Thread For: Roach Can't Guarantee a Vicious Pacquiao in Rematch

[hugh grant]

The guy is 35 now, he must adjust with the times. So hes going to be mindless and vicious in his highest weight class as he was at 126lbs?

He should be allowed to do what hes sees fit to get the victory.

Enough

I respect Freddy but enough is enough. Pacquiao has been through wars in the ring and I'm sure Pac's more concerned about his health down the line. If he can outbox a guy what is the reason to brawl and risk something serious in the ring? What does he have left to prove?

Stop reading what the guy says(do not forget that reporters ask him questions - he doesn't run after them to speak his mind). Stop posting in these threads. Enough of your nonsense.

I've always said since the margarito fight, this dude has gotten soft. I've also noticed he's only gone for the kill vs JMM. Reason being, every time he faces JMM its a very competitive fight and pac gets hit just as much as hes hitting. The other fights were pretty much easy pickings for him. The only way we see pac of old is if Bradley comes in landing some good shots and the fight gets competitive, which I think it should be. If Pac starts off hot and Bradley doesn't make it a good scrap, Pac will take his foot of the pedal and cruise to a decision win

Roach was just selling. Vegas' Betting odds sees differently:

-------------------------------------Opening ---------- 5 Dimes -------- Bovada
Manny Pacquiao ------------- -200 ----------- -205 ---------- -230
Timothy Bradley --------------+162 ----------- +188 ----------- +180

Pacquiao actually started going soft towards the end of the Miguel Cotto fight. He'd punch cotto then look at kenny bayless as if to say "are you gonna stop this" but its only gotten worse since then

now that u brought that up, im gonna have to agree with u that it started in the cotto fight towards the end like u said.. its just crazy how he changed so quick from the no fear manny to compassionate manny. i think a lot has to do with pac not staying productive during his time off from boxing.

We are going to see a PAC get out boxed the first 8 rounds of the fight, to rally strong in the end, in a futile attempt to score a KO. Timmeh will then have earned a 8-4/7-5 win and we will all call on the Pac-monster to hang em up

thats pretty specific

Roach is so full of **** I can smell him down here in TN. Pac isn't stopping guys because he's fighting world class guys, most of whom are bigger than him. That and his power is a lil overrated. He hits hard. But this cat doesn't have a laundry list of one punch KOs. He's mostly stopped guys through accumilation. Once he moved it, that pretty much ceased. He stopped DLH through accumilation. He stopped Cotto through accumilation. All this "compassion" nonsense is just Roach's lastest excuse for the myth of the Pacmonster being exposed. The only guy I've seen Manny carry is DLH. And that due more because of admiration. He beat Margarito like a f.uckin' drum. He through 1200 punches against Clottey. Mosley didnt wanna fight. Rios is tough as hell. Bradley used lateral movement that through off Pac's attack. Pac is still Pac. He's no different than the guy I saw in the late 90s. He's just become a global star and many of his fans don't know **** about boxing. That's why they fall for all this WWE bull**** that Roach is continuing to put out.

One more day till fight night. We can argue as long as we want, we can speculate as we want, come fight night all eyes will be on Manny. If we see some hints of him slowing down, hesitant to throw punch, disinterested of finishing when he hurt Bradley, then I think it's really sums it up. His heart and desire is no longer in the sport, and he should hang em up. But then again, what do we really know what's in his mind. Good luck to both of them coz I really like both Timme and Pac.
