Comments Thread For: Team Maidana Still Focused on Landing Mayweather Bout

[Evol]

If he's going to ask him to move down because "he's fighting bigger and stronger guys" like Bradley, who he says was "160," what would make you think he would want Manny to fight Maidana, who was 165? This is why Roach is talking about Danny Garcia, and Arum is talking about Ruslan or Chris Algeri.

I know you already know all of this, so why are you acting surprised or offended by any of this?

again, nothing about avoiding big strong WW like maidana. reaching?? suprise?? offended?? because im pointing out that u're reaching here? LOL .. maybe because pac already fought marg, who was heavier than "165". LOL!!!

[Evol]

You won't see him mentioning anything about Maidana either. Who have you heard him mentioning? That's right Ruslan and Danny Garcia, both are Jr. Welterweights looking to move up, or fight Manny at 140, just like JMM, Rios, Hatton, etc.

so then why did u mention that roach is keeping pac away from maidana then? lmao!!!!

Beacause Maidana is too big. You call it reaching, but I see it otherwise. If he's asking him to go to 140 after the Bradley fight, and now he wants Danny Garcia out of all the GBP fighters, that should tell you something. For those that have wisdom...

January 31, 2014:

Several opponents have been named for Mayweather Jr, but Roach, who trains Manny Pacquiao, says if Khan was to be the next fight for Mayweather Jr, he could cause the unbeaten boxer some problems.

"That's not an easy fight. I've always said Amir has the right style to beat Floyd if he fights correctly and doesn't stay in the pocket too long," Roach told Ringside Toe 2 Toe Podcast.

"I always thought he could beat him with his speed. I think he's faster than Mayweather and that's what it takes to beat him. Floyd might have his hands full on the night."

Roach said Arum asked him what he thought of a Pacman-Amir Khan fight, and, "I said no, how about Danny Garcia?" Roach stated. "If your gonna cross over, cross over and get me someone exciting..."

Isn't Khan exciting? "He throws combinations and holds now, it's so boring," Roach answered...

So I guess i'm reaching but 6 months ago Roach believed Khan could beta Mayweather, now after Khan beats Luis Collazo (a legit WW) suddenly he's not a good match for Manny? C'mon Son! If they are gonna cross over, WHY GET DANNY GARCIA?

why do u keep posting up these articles that has nothing to do with u saying roach is keeping pac away from maidana?? this is why u're reaching LMAO!! i asked u to show me where roach said maidana is too big too strong for manny????

[Evol]

I wouldn't mind seeing Pac vs. Maidana, but Freddie Roach isn't crazy, he don't want Manny fighting a big, strong, WW like Maidana. He's already stated that if he can fight a GBP fighter, his choice is Danny Garcia. He doesn't want Khan, Maidana, or Canelo.

still waiting???? LOL!!!!!!!

[Aristocrat]

If they are gonna cross over, WHY GET DANNY GARCIA?

Because Roach has been calling out Danny for awhile now

u're right! why cross over and fight danny garcia?? they should cross over and fight amir khan instead! LOL!!!!!!!!! why didnt floyd fight khan? he had the most votes from that poll ur boy put up LMAO! ur boy ducking khan too?? too big too strong too fast? LOL!!!

Beacuse Khan hadn't done anything at WW, and Maidana beat Soto-Karass and Broner, and held a title (via Broner) at WW. Now if Khan was good to go for September, Khan would get the fight. Floyd knows that's cash money! If Floyd had chosen Khan over Maidana, you would be calling him a coward! Now your boy has a choice of GBP fighters and who did he ask Arum to cross over to get...?

Did Freddie ask Arum to cross over and get him a GBP fighter? Which fighter did he ask for? Is that fighter a WW or Jr. WW? Could he have asked for Khan, Thurman, Maidana, or Porter? Nuff' said!

no way, cotto was almost out due to an uppercut (and we know may can't punch), in the later rounds floyd went for it. chino can make a case for a draw at least, especially for what he did in the first half.

It was 3-3 after 6 and Mayweather took over. Most he can make a case for is is losing 7-5
