Comments Thread For: Roach Has Mixed Emotions Over Pacquiao's Victory

[Evol]

I agree, because I think his next fight will be Marquez, and he will be totally prepared for that. But what if his next fight is Alvarado or Ruslan? Will he be up for that? Sometimes a great fighter needs a GREAT opponent to bring out his best. Arum already ****** up the Floyd fight forever, but who can they put in front of him to challenge him? If not Marquez, I can only think of Mikey Garcia at a catchweight.

regardless of who his next oppoent is i believe manny will look a lot better this time around. the rios fight was pretty much testing the water coming off the ko lost to marquez and the bradley rematch has to boost his confidence up even more so now. so in his next fight i expect pac to be more loose and not so tense and hesistant.

Ruslan's face was busted up, but he never looked really hurt
Marquez isn't even a real WW, of course he got hurt
that KO in Pac-JMM 4 took Pac's chin away
if Timothy Bradley can hurt Pac, it's a fucking problem
Pac walked right through shots from Cotto and Margarito before

and manny was hit coming off balance that made he jumped back, same punch in the marquez/pac 2 match that made manny wobble back. u make it seem like pac was stumbling all around or something. cotto and marg shots were pretty much expected from pac when they connect as for the bradley punch pac didnt see it coming and cotto did made pac's head bounce back a few times, thats not hurting manny? marg made manny almost shiiet his pants and had to retreat, thats not hurting manny?

Not so sure Manny would beat Maidana, Canelo, or Thurman. Manny is taking shots now, and if Bradley wasn't an as$hole, and stuck to the gameplan, he might have been in a draw.

why do u guys keep thinking bradley threw his game plan out the window and that manny had nothing to do with it?? do u guys honestly believe bradley just straight up said im gonna try something new even tho what im doing now is working but fuck it im gonna fuck around?? come on now!!

pac fought a good fight in the 4th rematch with marquez but obviously marquez was doing little things to throw manny off his game plan and the same thing happen with the bradley rematch against pac. bradley fought a smart fight early on but he wasnt able to keep it up. stop acting like pac had nothing to do with it and bradley just lost the fight based on him choosing to do so.

I didn't see the power in Mannys punches. To me he looked like he was flinging a lot of arm punches at Bradley. I didn't see him sitting down on them at all. Perhaps he was worried about running into a counter shot. I'm anxious to re watch the fight and get a better critique of the fight.

Bradleys face found the arm punches very damaging.

It´s obvious 2009 Pac isn't gonna return. But he still is a great boxer and he can still improve and be better than he was against Bradley.


Also Bradley is a good fighter, he is not a tomato can. It's difficult to look good against skilled boxers like Bradley.

pac's style mixed in with bradley's skills will not make pac look amazing.

No different than when Pac fought JMM for the 3rd time when EVERYONE expected Pac to walk all over JMM like Floyd easily did years prior at the very same weight class.

Lets hope Pac leaves Top Rank at the end of the year like he said he would do. Floyd is already 37 and will most likely be 38 by the time they would be able to fight. Floyd is WELL past his prime. Freddie Roach says he has no legs.

Pac doesn't have long before Floyd is a full blown past prime bum. Much like Clottey, Margarito and Mosley had been when Pac decided to fight them, rather than WINNING and relevant welter weights at that time.

Mayweather still looks brilliant in there. His style and skills will allow him to beat most guys even when hes over 40, pretty much like Hopkins. Pacquiao on the other hand is another storry. He should not do any more than 2 fights and then retire. He has a young guys fighting style. You need tons of athletic ability and energy as well as reflexes for that style. Otherwise it will not take long for Manny to get knocked out again. But he had a great long career and should think about retirement.

Mayweather has also fought Rios type guys. Straight in front of him and slow footed. You guys acting like Bradley wasn't a top 5 P4P fighter. Rios fight didn't hold much weight IMO on rather Pac still had something to give but the fact that he sustained great early showing from a legitimate world class fighter in Bradley showed me something.

[radiotracer]

PAC is still a top fighter who can beat most. But he's not who he used to be. No question about it.

the guy is 35 not 25 and is a natural featherweight. A person cant climb that many divisions and keep knocking people out. People are just spoiled of the young pac. Give credit where credit is due.He just beat one of the best in the world at probably at their best and marquez just got away on the last fight when he was getting walked down and pac got careless.

When ******s gonna understand that PED's cant improve your power? It only improves your stamina. Do americans learn organic chemistry in schools?
