Comments Thread For: Roach Warns That He May Ask Pacquiao To Retire

he's not fighting Floyd, he wont struggle...

Apparently Roach has bet his homes on Cotto beating Canelo so he will need Pacman to fight again so that he can earn enough money to buy another house to live in after Cotto loses.

He should retire. He can't even put away guys in his showcase fights. Hasn't had a KO in years.

Just saw vids of Roach doing mitts with Postol... he looks bad. He needs to retire before Pac does

Even though I like what I've seen of Postol, I have a feeling he's gonna get BTFO badly by Matthysse.

YEah man it was hard to watch, Roach should have retired already but he doesn't want anyone else to train MAnny, this is how selfish he is, so he is advising Manny to retire now? yeah because he knows he isn't in the best health, but rather have Manny retire than someone else train him.

Roach if you were a true man of your word, You said this like 2 years ago that you would tell Pac to retire if you saw him struggling in camp, you saw Pac struggling in sparring for the Mayweather fight, and aggravated his shoulder and didn't call the fight off, why? because you wanted that 10 million dollars you were scheduled to earn for the Floyd fight.

You are going to tell him to retire now only because you got the big money payday you wanted and you know Pac is already shot to pieces even leading into the Floyd fight, and your lame strategy is what ruined the fight you scared Pac telling him no Manny becareful Floyd is going to wear SMALL gloves that means he is trying to set a trap and lure you into a knock out like Marquez!

Roach is the most paranoid over thinking trainer, Pac listens to everything he says and should have got rid of him years ago.

Roach has no use for Manny anymore, but Manny is aloof and doesnt care he has no stress because of his naivety and ignorance to the world.

If I were Manny for my last 3 fights on my contract I would ditch Roach and go back to Michael Moorer or hire John David Jackson. Roach never tried to make Manny better he just road the Pac train for the $$$

Freddie Roach has warned that he would absolutely ask Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38KOs) to retire - if the Filipino star struggles in his next scheduled fight.

Pacquiao has been out of the ring since the May 2nd twelve round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao suffered what was initially claimed to be a serious right shoulder injury during the fight. Questions have been raised as to the seriousness of the injury with Pacquiao not taking his post-surgery rehabilitation as seriously as his team wants him to.

Boy that is some loaded bull****.

"Pacquiao suffered what was initially claimed to be a serious right shoulder injury during the fight."

No it was before the fight.

"Questions have been raised as to the seriousness of the injury with Pacquiao not taking his post-surgery rehabilitation as seriously as his team wants him to."

How does him not taking the rehab seriously equate to it not being a serious injury. I've seen guys with torn ACLs not take their rehab seriously. That doesn't mean that a torn ACL is not serious.

Even an article about Roach suggesting Manny may retire has to have some loaded comments in it to protect Floyd. There was no need for this editorializing.

Roach's concern genuinely concerns me.

My father has Parkinsons, Roach really does worry me. His condition is bad, Marvin should take over IMO.



Freddie can give advice, but Marvin should run Wild Card

[BoxingIsGreat]

Good riddance. Roach should follow him too.

Saw them too. I like Freddie but his condition is too severe.



He just can't do it right now. Even with Cotto (I like Cotto but his ******s make me want to root for Canelo) it's not looking good.
