Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Will Only Spar 90-100 Rounds For Mayweather

[DeadLikeMe]

If thats what they want to do then fine. I think 90-100 rounds is alot to spar anyway

Pretty much, as long as he is putting the work in other places.

Yep agreed. Both fought not too long ago and its a good thing Manny works more on stategy more than anything ele, he will need it obviously.

The thing is this... Was I talking to u at the first place? IF I call out some dummies that think they know more than Freddie than he does and want to call Pacman juiced or whatever, I can do it. Are u NSB police or something?

no brother im bored at work lol!!!!!

Since this is NSB and we love to infer, I'm going with my wild speculation on this one. Manny has been getting dropped hard in sparring since KTFO6. It explains the soft touches, and it also shows how much of a legendary beast and ATG he is it that he can go out and beat a legit top 10 p4p guy in Bradley and two contenders from the lower weights in Algieri and Rios. That kill or be killed mentality is gone, he knows he gets to fly home and be Manny Pacquiao. His jaw is shattered, his fire is flickering out, and his tank is on E...and he still went out there and got Tim Bradley. I guess we just have to wait and see what he has left for Floyd.

Umm...

Umm...

Isn't that what we're supposed to do on here? Take some headline, not even read the article, and then declare Manny (or Floyd) the "winner" of that particular snippet?

well it is a boxing forum brother what do u want people to talk about?, seems like pac fans really take offense when someone speaks against pac or talks about a well known flaw he has, at least these posters arent here name calling n calling manny g!y and a ducker runner, womanizer etc.... and calling posters names all because they have a different opinion than them...

we all know pac man is great but we see flaws and talk about them on a boxing web site so that makes us dyk riders and groupies? but as long as we talk good about him we are okay?

But see..the same could be said about floyd fans right ? I don't see you gettin on them. Why is that?hmm..

Freddy doesnt want Pac to overtrain like he has recently. Great move by Freddy. Just wish he'd forget about technique. Manny needs to maul him. Think Glen Johnson and Iran Barkley.

Hehe no problem. I got no problems with fans. Im a Pacman fan but hate his groupies. I hate groupies and here is so full of it. Some fans think that because ur a fan of one u need to hate the other one. I have 0 hate for Floyd and I have a hard time to see Pac winning this fight even though I hope he does. They both ATG and legend and we should watch history in the making on May 2nd. If Floyd loses no one should call him a bum or a hypejob and same goes for Pac. This fight doesnt change nothing what they did in boxing, its just the icing in the cake

only? last time I checked 100 is plenty

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is getting young, hungry sparring partners for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, who is preparing for a high stakes unification against WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Roach is getting fighters who are undefeated, with good records, who are able to mimic certain aspects of Mayweather's style.

"I really don’t believe in getting older guys to be your sparring partners — guys who are just in front of you. I like getting young contenders, it helps them along the way and Manny will make some of them a better fighter by just the knowledge that they’ll get by being in the ring with him," Roach told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

Quite common as a fighter starts to age.

One of the few sensible comments from Roach over the last couple months.
