Comments Thread For: Roach Prefers Marquez For Manny Pacquiao's Next Fight

[aboutfkntime]

It has nothing to do with pay.

But, yes, Freddie acted very very emotionally and contradictorily when Khan left.

Yea, he doesn't want to see Khan - Pac, because if Khan wins, that makes Hunter look superior to Roach. This is why Roach has come to hate Khan, because Khan's move to Hunter made it seem like Hunter is the smarter more tactical trainer.

Perhaps, JMM could be lured back, but they already offered him that crazy money and he said no. Why would he change his mind? I don't think JMM comes back for another fight. I have a feeling he is retired.

I agree, I dont think that Marquez has ever been an option for Arum.

Marquez refused the fight back in 2013, he refused the fight again in 2014, and he has refused the fight once again in 2015.

Bob Arum, is..... disingenuous, to say the least. Everyone knows this.

Arum gave 5 potential opponents..... Marquez, Khan, Brook, Matthyse, Crawford.

Over the years Bob Arum has repeatedly mentioned names for Pacquiao, names that did not, and will not, eventuate..... and one of those names just so happens to be on the latest list of potential Pac opponents.

There is nothing to indicate that Manny will fight any of those guys, certainly nothing from Bob Arum thats for sure.

I believe that.....
* Pacquiao/Marquez V will never happen.
* Pacquiao will never fight Khan/Brook, ever.
* He may fight Crawford, but not until his very last Top Rank fight.
* Matthyse is next, should he get past Postol

I think that Arum is hanging off the Matthyse/Postol fight.

I also distictly remember Matthyse mentoining Pacquiao completely out-of-the-blue a few weeks back..... indicating that he may have had a whisper from Arum.

finished business....

Roach must know something we don't! He really does NOT want Manny facing Amir Khan! He wants Marquez or Danny Garcia, and does NOT want Khan, Brook, or Thurman! He doesn't even want Terence Crawford! It's a compliment to Crawford for him to be seen as a bigger threat than JMM!

October 15, 2014:

Pacquiao, 35, is currently in the early stages of training for his November 23 fight at The Venetian in Macau against Algieri (20-0, 8 knockouts), which will be the first defense of his WBO welterweight title. The fight will be fought at a catchweight of 144 pounds to test Pacquiao’s performance at a lower weight before they move down to 140 pounds.

“I just think it’s much better for Manny to fight at 140. He’s much more productive at that weight. It’s much more natural for him to fight at that weight,” Roach said at the Pacman Wild Card Gym in General Santos City, Philippines on Wednesday, October 15...

“I like that fight,” Roach said of the 26-year-old Philadelphia native Danny Garcia. Roach then addressed the politics of boxing, saying he believes that Garcia’s advisor Al Haymon – who also handles Floyd Mayweather Jr – will prevent the fight from happening.

“Al Haymon will not fight Manny Pacquiao, guarantee that. Because they’re scared, all of them. His lead guy all the way down. It’s not going to happen. All of the excuses about they don’t like Bob Arum; it’s just excuses.

Who's scared now Freddie?

WE ALL want the fight, I would love to see it. The only ones who don't want to see it are Pacquiao haters and the Juanita fans. Marquez BEGGED for rematches multiple times, Pacquiao gave him the rematches time and time again. Once Juanita lands a lucky punch, he runs for the hills because he knows he can't do it again. Marquez will always be remembered as the Mexican coward who started to develop a Hulk Body and acne at 40 after hooking up with admitted steroid supplier Memo and ducked Pacquiao after the lucky punch.

dont you forget that it was pac who say no to the tests for the 4th fight, im not even going any further cuz if anyone was su****ions in the past, it was pac....
pac roided for the first 3 fights and still needed help from the judges, marquez roided once and puts pac to sleep on a KO that changed pac forever... heck, even floyd should be thanking marquez now...

I too find it disgusting that Pacquiao gave this guy multiple rematches when he didn't necessarily have to and now he refuse to give Manny one more fight.

Marquez you lame fck it doesn't matter if you fight him again or not he will still be remembered as the greater fighter lol!

Dumb fck would rather sit around and drink piss than make another nice payday lol hilarious!

Of all of the dumb things Manny fans say: this is the dumbest. No one "gave" Marquez rematches. Manny was not in any position to ride off into the sunset with a notch On his belt. He never definitively beat Marquez. Every fight was close. Manny had dazzling knockdowns that stole the fight from Marquez. But he still fought tooth and nail in every fight. And in fight 3--Manny was out boxed and the boxing community largely felt that Marquez won. Which brought us to the 4th fight. The fight where Marquez left no room for the debate on who the winner was/is.

Then PAC fans said roids, just like they said roids with Floyd. And then manny cowardly claimed that he fought injured. Can we just cut the crap and stop treating Manny like some bold champ who "gives" people rematches and is short changed by shady activity. He's no victim. He's the scammer.

Marquez doesn't owe Manny a rematch.

Also, Roach has lost a lot of my respect recently. He should show a little more respect to a guy who certainly has his prize pupils number.

I think Khan, and Garcia are easy business for Manny. Thurman too.

But, Marquez has his number

Like I always say: "want to read the ******est posts on boxingscene?: watch a manny fan talk about Marquez"

Pacquiao gave him rematches? Marquez was the champion who fought Manny, Marquez was the one who got his career stolen because he wasn't as commercial as Manny. It's Manny who got rip off decision after rip of decision when the most he deserved from their four fights was a draw. You are a ****ing joke and make this site a worse place to be. Well done mods, great site you're running here when this guy is allowed to spew **** with impunity.

It's not uncommon for injured fighters from long layoffs to get a warm up bout.
