Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Sparring Partners Better Than Algieri

[JJRod]

-Just 20 pro fights
-Carreer highlight is barely surviving to D level fighter Ruslan
-Has never fought above 140
-Has only 8 ko's

Why are u talkin sht again?

So Ruslan is a D level fighter now?

You are talking about internet rep so i'm just going to assume you are a 16 year old lol

Keep assuming.

He should have gone the Oscar, Cotto, Mayweather route and did his own thing. Kind of hard to do when you owe Arum money, I guess.

That route Floyd took is a full time job, he's got nothing else going on between bouts so he can promote all he wants if he wants and when he wants. Other boxers don't have that kind of time nor do they want the stress that comes with it. I say making $20 million a fight is more than Pacquaio ever expected to see and if he's happy why mess with it. I understand there is more money to be made but also a lot more demand of your time. This guy can dedicate four months of the year to the sport and have 8 months to do anything else he wants. Other boxers have tried that promote while being active career wise, it's only worked out for two people. DLH and Mayweather, Haymon's first foray outside of manager/advisor was in the mid 90's when he partnered with a boxer who launched his own promotional vehicle. His career came undone not that long thereafter. Some people need their focus on one thing at a time...ain't a knock...people just operate in what zone makes them the most comfortable.

I'd say he's more of a C+

Powerless? Rios powerless? Bradley is not a good fighter? Please stop

Bradley is a great fighter, but 12 KO's means no power. Rios never had power, all he's known for is eating punches. Stop it. Arum is keep Manny away from the ****ers, Marquez scarred him for life.

D + ... He's a zombie that walks in a straight line swallowing punches and trying to win off heart and pride, no skill.

Hmm...You make a very good point!

Hahaha there are more Floyd stans in here ganging up on Manny than them defending in their idols own thread! :crybaby:

When Floyd fights he has all the advantages but when Manny fights he doesn't care who he fights in the ring.

The midget from Asia is fighting Algieri a giant from America, Pacquaio's second to Margorito!

Tell me when did Floyd had ever fought a giant? hahaha plus the giant knows how to jab/box which is Pacs Kriptonite!
