Comments Thread For: Roach Confident Pacquiao Will Knock Mayweather Out

[Cinci Champ]

Floyd stans claimed that Roach, Manny, and Arum only bring up Mayweather's name before fights to hype another fight. Yet they still are bringing up Mayweather. I guess the Floyd stans were wrong.

not exactly this is the first time and now fights about to be made

He cant hit him if he keeps running away, let alone KO him.

[Cinci Champ]

[Real Hero]

The KO comparison does not apply here. Floyd never claims to be a knockout artist and he never was but Manny always has. He's the one who has declined from this aspect. He no longer gets knockouts but Floyd has always been a masterful boxer and and he continues to be that type of fighter. They have two styles. The fight if it happens would be a perfect boxer puncher with Manny having the edge on footwork and speed. I give Floyd the edge on his counterpunching and intelligence. Mannt still makes mistakes and is a suckered for a lead right. Pretty even going into the fight. I say Floyd should fight Mannyhis last two fights win or lose. This guarantees the loser a rematch.

Abel Sanchez is spot on about Roach:

t's a war of words between two outspoken, accomplished trainers, with Freddie Roach saying that Miguel Cotto would "kick Gennady Golovkin's ass," and Abel Sanchez now responding that Cotto wouldn't last five rounds with his fighter.

"Miguel Cotto couldn't go five rounds, and Freddie Roach knows that and Miguel Cotto knows that," said Sanchez. "Freddie gets on a rant like that and goes over the top to deflect the real questions so that he doesn't have to give true answers. But Freddie knows the truth."

Sanchez is probably right about Roach to some degree, as Freddie has a habit of making big statements about his fighters and what they will do -- Pacquiao's always going to knock people out, asses will be kicked, and so on.

But there was some good news last week:

Is it time to start getting excited? Could this be real? Well, I wouldn't hold my breath just yet because most of us won't believe it until we see a press conference announcement, a 10 week edition of Fight Camp 360, and see them both between the ropes when the bell rings...

Be that as it may, reports from the LA Times and via ****** are suggesting that serious high level talks are ongoing about putting together the overly-long-awaited megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. What makes this different from almost every other previous report on the topic is that this time the source of information isn't coming directly from Bob Arum. He's had a habit of incessantly bringing up Mayweather - and suggesting negotiations taking place between them, despite the other side denying it all - during the build up to recent Pacquiao fights. Presumably this was a tactic to drum up interest in some of Pacquiao's recent lackluster match-ups. This time, however, we're hearing it from the folks over at Showtime.

What's more telling is that Roach thinks this is an even fight. Through all his b.s., Freddie knows they're fighting an uphill battle.

roach see this as an uphill battle, most fans favor floyd to win, most boxers, writers, also favor floyd to beat manny. but getting floyd to actually fight manny is the bigger challenge.
