Comments Thread For: Roach: Even 152 is Too Much For Pacquiao-Canelo

[St. Johns Gent]

Mayweather is held to such a high standard = please get a win on your record better than Corrales. You've had 2 decades to do so.

you = hater

by the way "smart guy" leonard didn't beat hearns 2x and i'm surprised you couldn't even put one notable kovalev victory on your list, you know why? cuz kovalev is a paper champ

Do you know why they even consider the leftovers (although they pick carefully, i.e. let's get Mosely, not Canelo):

Fight Hype (January 09, 2014)

"There's a couple of other guys out there right now that I'm thinking about that are free agents. You look at Mayweather's last like four fights and so forth, if we can fight one of those guys that he went the distance with and knock that person out and be impressive, it puts us even closer to Mayweather because that's the fight we really want eventually," stated world-class trainer Freddie Roach, who discussed his preference of opponents for Manny Pacquiao when he makes his anticipated return to the ring on April 12 the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to Roach, although Pacquiao doesn't mind avenging his controversial loss to undefeated welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, in his opinion, there's not enough money to make the fight worth his star pupil's while. Instead, Roach would prefer having Pacquiao face someone that Floyd Mayweather just fought, like Robert Guerrero, in hopes of scoring a more impressive victory.

Lol at a floydiot quoting floydhype articles!

Why should Alvarez give pacquiao any advantages? At this point of his career he does not need Pacquiao! Pacquiao has made everyone fight at the weight that its more convienient for him.

De La Hoya, Cotto, Margarito!!

Canelo can not even make 154 anymore, so why should he sacrifize to make 150 and try to beat a man that was Ko by a light weight???FK that, good for Canelo!

And the P@ct@rds are so ****** that it allows Roach to blatantly get away with **** like this. And he's been doing it since Manny fought Oscar. He fought Oscar at 47. But following his destruction of Margarito, wouldn't fight Mosley at the same weight. Made all these claims that Manny was a lightweight fighting bigger guys. And that Manny could easily be fighting at 35 or 40. Yet after Floyd handled JMM the way he did. Roach wanted the fight at welterweight. Instead of at 35, where JMM was the lineal champion. Or, at 40 where Pac was the lineal champion. This guy is a joke. The only bigger joke is the ignorant fanbase that tries to spin and justify everything Team Pac does.

When Manny fought ODLH, Oscar the day of the weigh in weighed 145 (OMFG that's a skeleton) and on the night of the fight Oscar weighed 147 while Manny weighed 148....smh! Oscar was a zombie while Manny was full strength, but Manny got all the credit and glory for beating him....

But......

Floyd weighed 150 on weigh-in day fight with oscar WHILE Oscar weighed 154, on fight night Floyd was no more than 151 and oscar rehydrated up to 170, Floyd still won the fight but gets no credit nor glory, hmmmm something seems strange with all that..

Oscar = 170lbs
Floyd = 151lbs

Oscar = 147lbs
Manny = 148lbs

Now which one was more impressive again? And who fought the bigger person ?

Manny's win was more impressive as he dominated and stopped De La Hoya while Floyd went to split decision and go booed by his hometown crowd after the decision was rendered...

You're trying to speculate about weight...I can say that De La Hoya put on too much weight and was slower than he could have been without the weight...

You really don't want to go down the line of comparing common-opponents between and Floyd and Manny, do you lol?

Besides Marquez..Manny has beaten common opponents much more impressively:

Cotto
Mosley
De La Hoya
Hatton

Mayweather is held to a higher standard even while they claim Pacquiao is superior.

Yes, Floyd is held at a higher standard fighting above 147 pounds because he's fought at the full limit twice...

Manny weighed in under 145 when he fought at 150...

Right. Since you're getting humiliated in here and don't have any of you lil ass clown f.ucktards to co-sign your "you're a f.lomo" bull****. Its time to start reporting posts and getting folks banned. You a clown ole watch TV laying on your stomach ass boy.

[Snake4380]

He's had plenty. the problem is posters like you that count an erik morales win after he got destroyed by zahir raheem as quality but devalue a win against shane after he beats Margarito.

That level of biased ignorance can't be overcome.

LOL @ destroyed by Raheem...outboxing a guy is now considered destroying when you need defend Floyd in an argument lol?

Reaching much...

Yes, Floyd is held at a higher standard fighting above 147 pounds because he's fought at the full limit twice...

Yeah? And Pacquaio weighed 151 lbs against Marquez.

It doesn't matter because the FightHype article was referencing a YouTube video where Freddie Roach did indeed say he was interested in Pacquaio fighting one of Floyd's old opponents and specifically named Robert Guerrero. And that they would want to beat him more impressively than Floyd. This is fact.
