Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Crawford Possible, I like Pacquiao-Canelo Better

[RomanReigns]

Absolutely not.

Canelo would completely wreck Pac and there is no need for it.

A prime Pac struggled with the size and power of an average Margarito, Canelo is much bigger than Margarito, much stronger, hits FAR harder and is a tremendous fighter on top of it.

Never mind the current version, not even a prime Pac could beat Canelo now.

This

Canelo is just too big, and powerful for Pacquiao, And in the last 2 years he showed some improvement in his counter-punches.

Bad style matchup for Manny. First 4 round would be fun until Nelo's size, youth and punching ability would be too much for Manny.

Yes he does thats why he wants a rehydration clause , because if they can have Canelo at 164 Manny will box his ears off , Roach is throwing out a bait that will be swallowed up by causals as sounding a fair deal , its suicide for Canelo and Canelo will not fall for it , so Roach gets good publicity by naming all the big names but with all these weight clauses attached .

Just do TC at 140 , thats THE fight for Manny .

I don't think that a rehydration clause would save Pac from his power come fight night. Marquez put him in a coma, this would be a skip a hospital trip and go straight to the morgue type KO.

It doesnt matter who pac fights, Roach will predict a KO for manny, because he is moving like a young Pac in training camp and oh yeah, he has his killer instinct back...

yeah, a trainer should never praise his own fighter.

You are ******ed as hell, as of right now:
1 Canelo is a JMW
2 Pacquiao is a WW

It don't matter if you gain 100 pounds overnight, if you make the limit then you are a fighter of that weightclass.

Lol I know that, duh b*tchtista 84. I'm not saying that he'd literally be light heavy, dumbass. But for intents and purposes, yeah. We're talking about a fighter (Canelo) who comes into fights up to 180 pounds, and another (Pacquiao) who comes into his fights at 145 to 150. Look dip**** no matter how you slice it, Canelo's the waaaaayyyyy bigger fighter and human being. Point blank period.

Gennady took a ton of heat around here for fighting Brook, and rightfully so. How would this be any different, dip****?

And don't get it twisted, I'm not shading blame on Canelo for this as a topic. Obviously. It's Roach who's bringing it up. I'm just saying, it's clearly not a fair fight. There's a reason why there are weight classes.

Stop it. Pac is retired IMO.


That's it, I wasn't even down with the Vargas fight.

Yeah he needs to stop here and take the Vargas win and go out on it. I don't see him beating Crawford at this point. If he woulda blew out Vargas then maybe, but he didn't. That Vargas fight wasn't the one sided fight that some of the boxing media made it after the fight. Manny won but Vargas made him work every second for it...and Crawford is on another level than Vargas.

And this Canelo talk from Roach is comical. It really is.

100% agree. Right now, Pac would lose to Crawford bad


Roach needs to think about hanging them up also.

He should let Marvin take over and just help him with what he can.


Marvin is a very underrated trainer IMO

completely disagree. i have yet to hear or see marvin give out any meaningful instructions to his fighter. he's way too quiet. he's more of a helper. all he says to his fighter is "good job", "nice", "keep it up" lol. what type of instructions is that.
