Comments Thread For: Roach: CBS CEO Said He Can Deliver Floyd Mayweather

[MisanthropicNY]

Floyd do you want to fight Manny Pacquiao?

"Well, let's see what happens, Manny has a fight he has to get through, last time he was looking ahead he got knocked out"

[MisanthropicNY]

I have a feeling that Floyd is going to agree on everything except for one thing he's going to want usada to do the blood testing and he's not going to budge on that. As far as gloves that will be a fight the day before the fight happens when they pick them. Nsac will pick the ref and it will probably be either bayless or tony weeks. The ref won't matter can't help it if Floyd wants to hold all night which he probably will try to do. Judges will be probably Dave moretti glen trowbridge and Adelaide bird. I'm just shooting out my ass with most of these predictions but this is probably what will happen.

I swear I agree with what you said... You can bet your bottom dollar that Kenny Mayless will be the ref... Pac is good at stopping people from holding him... Hatton and Bradley tried to do it a lot..Pac's handspeed is too quick to be clinched... A. Bird = a lock to be a judge for the fight... and she'll have Mayweather winning before the fight even starts... Duane Ford is also someone who I'd be concerned with... he is the most corrupt judge in boxing history and will give any rounds that Pac doesn't dominate to Floyd... (think Bradley fight)

Already looking for excuses.

This kid knows who's going to win.

You're right about the 24-14 day thing...wow that's so long ago I forgot...but again...can you prove Mayweather would have accepted the fight and not come up with another condition? No you can't.

Again, like I said, you can't prove that Pac would've made the fight either. But ONE walked away and one didn't. That is proof enough that you should be questioning Pac a lot more than Floyd.

Former-HBO pres admitted that he was in talks when Mayweather's camp lied and said no talks were going on... don't tell me that didn't happen...

Greenberg called to find out what Floyds plans were. That isn't a negotiaton. Even before that, Floyd had already said he was taking the rest of 2010 off and possibly 2011. One of Arum's own mouthpieces said he was full of crap and had at least look like he was trying to make the fight, but already knew that Floyd was not going to fight and already had the Margarito fight all but done.

Now why should I believe that Floyd would ever accept the fight with Pacquiao...when he said my Health Comes First after Pac had already been doing full-random testing? Care to answer? Apparently Floyd can fight Mosley who is a known cheat...but with Pac it's "My Health Comes First"...

If that's the case, why would you ever believe Pac would accept a fight with Floyd when every time the fight has been offered, he wasn't interested? Can you answer me THAT? You know what health comes first means. Ok, so what!! Floyd talks nonsense all the time. I'm sure he still mentions drug testing to this day. Doesn't mean he's afraid of him. Umm, Mosley did the OSDT, Pac would not. THAT is the difference. Since then, Pac fought Margarito. Floyd took time off....then fought Oritz and called Pac. That was the only 2 negotiations that happened.

Nice way to avoid the "My Health Comes First" issue..don't deflect... address that issue... no matter what Pac concedes to...My Health Comes First..Is a personal problem Floyd has with a fear of getting hurt in a Pacquiao fight...

i addressed it!! I said that was in the context of fighting someone that is on PED and how the media and people were blaming him for the fight not happening, when Pac didn't agree. Why did YOU deflect? Why aren't YOU calling Pac out on Roach protecting HIS fighters health??

It's so obvious you hate Mayweather, because, if you were being fair, you would be questioning why Pac walked away from the first negotiation for a lie. You would call Mayweather a duck and a coward for it. You would do the same if Floyd's people were asked if Pac's name would be brought up as an option and they said "absolutely not". Floyd has certainly not helped the situation with things he's said and trash, but that doesn't change the fact that one side has been offered the fight 2x and declined. The only way you couldn't hold Pac just as responsible is if you dislike Floyd and don't see things clearly.

Actually to be fair Byrd is a good judge I tend to agree with a lot of her score cards Duane ford doesn't judge anymore to my knowledge. Kenny is a good ref he doesn't like a lot of holding which benefits manny but at this point it won't matter who the judges are or who the ref will be this fight is bigger then that petty stuff. At the end of the day it will be just Floyd and Manny and everyone in the world will watch and the true judges will be history and the public on who will win that fight.

Let's not forget knockdowns are slips in Vegas when it comes to Floyd (think Judah fight)

Floyd gets to clinch, use his forearms and elbows and not even get a warning...

Floyd will also be credited with "ring generalship" points for just running away and not getting hit...

Floyd's "clean" pitty pat shots score like Tyson KO punches to judges...

Kenny Mayless will break up the action anytime Pac takes Floyd to the ropes or gets close and fires combos...

I'm not saying Pac will beat Floyd on the scorecards... Castillo got robbed with a clear win...I'm saying Pac will win but we all saw the Castillo-Mayweather and Bradley-Pac fights...

Pac needs a Tarver-Roy Jones moment to win officially...but I think the public will consider Pac the winner and that's what matters...

"Well, let's see what happens, Manny has a fight he has to get through, last time he was looking ahead he got knocked out"

By the way. If the fight is made, who do you see winning and how?

Did you see Floyd-Maidana II?

I guess you missed the Pac/Algieri fight, right?
LOL...you've got a lot of excuses already. I say Floyd beats Pac CLEARLY. The only way he doesn't is if he tries to make it closer to keep interest in the 2nd fight.

So if the fight is remotely close and Mayweather wins you're going to scream robbery? Wouldn't expect anything less TBH.
