Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Maybe Wins 5 Years Ago, Not Now

[ADP02]

1st fight could have gone to Pacquiao, 2nd was a toss up. 3rd Marquez was robbed even Manny said he underestimated Marquez.

Arguably Manny won the first fight but due to an error it was ruled a draw. Fight 1 and 2 could have gone either way. Fight 3 was clearer to more people that Marquez was robbed and the 4th Pacquiao got knocked out. Floyd Castillo 1..... could have gone either way but Floyd got the nod like (Pacquiao/Marquez 1&2) but difference is Floyd convincingly beat Castillo the second time while Pacquiao could not.

Funny how you categorized the Castillo fight like Marquez 1 and 2 instead of 3 in which you said more people had it for Marquez. Well more people had thought Castillo should have won the first fight. HBO was so sure that Floyd lost that that is all they were talking about the last minute of the fight. Also, if it was Floyd instead of Manny in those 3 fights, you would have said that none of those fights were that close to call controversial. That is obvious the way you discuss the Castillo compared to the Marquez fights.

BTW - judges had Castillo 2 close. Castillo was a slow starter in both fights.

Anyhow, fight 1 is fight 1. Fight 2 is fight 2. That is an excuse by Floyd fans to try to brush off what happened in fight 1. Remember that was the discussion. If Floyd loses, there will be a lot of excuses. Trust me.

manny never "clearly won" any fight vs marquez. .stop it , all three are debatable .. fourth was the only definitive result

The first 2 were obviously Manny wins. I couldn't see the 3rd until after and read here that Marquez should have won and I thought that if Marquez won then he should have been given the nod. Then when I saw the fight I laughed. Where did people see Marquez winning this one is beyond me. Especially since Marquez took the foot off the pedal in the later rounds.

When Bradley beat Marquez that is when you guys should realize that Marquez can't take a defeat. He thought that he won that too but we all know he lost that.

Castillo fight was more convincing than any of the Marquez vs Manny fights(1,2,3). You might call them close, no problem but definitely no robbery.

And TBH Roach seems to get a lot of hate on here. Listen to Roger and Snr, they say a lot of **** too. Trainers have become almost like promoters. Listen to Gueererro's dad for example.

No version of Pacquiao beats Mayweather

[geokis88]

Pac man....get em, get em......speed speed speed...Pac won't get tired.....Floyd is in trouble

Well. I actually think Manny would have his best chance around 2008-2010.

Manny's style is a high contact style, thus, as a fighter, he has aged and declined more than Mayweather, i believe.

Still pretty competitive fight. Expecting Money to win though.

[CLUE]

I agree that the fight is closer now, than it would have been 5 years ago. Still got Mayweather though.

Floyd has never fought a fighter like Manny Pacquiao. Manny has fought plenty of ok fighters like Floyd!

you could also take 40 million offer or Pac has tax problem or Pac has marquez problem or Pac has to leave arum, hell you could also take I don't work with arum as a confirmation that Psc ducked Floyd all those years if that will make you happy

And YOU could also take the 50-50 or no fight, cut might not heal, we need to build a stadium, May 2nd is too soon, we need to move it to June, Floyd might not get licensed, I dont know who to call, I will accept 2wk cutoff(when it was already off the table), May 2nd is for Mexicans as more confirmation that Floyd ducked Pac all those years, if that will make YOU happy.

I think even 5 years ago, he can't defeat Pacman. He's really strong at that time and have the killer instinct that can really dominate Mayweather.
