Comments Thread For: Roach: 'I Would Love' to Have Pacquiao Fight Keith Thurman

[thack]

Crawford and Thurman pose the same problems for Pacquiao. They have size advantage, move well, can box, and have punching power. Those attributes will keep these fights from happening. Roach isn't letting Pacquiao near either one of them. Their best bet is to try to make a fight with cement feet Danny Garcia. No one was taking a fight with Khan seriously because the last time we saw him he was unconscious.

Manny has a choice at the elite Welter's that is, fight the Brook v Spence winner or Thurman or Crawford .Your last sentence is spot on. Amir Khan is the joke of the division all the above spark him out and the only one who can be measured with this crew now at welter that you can relate to Khan is Garcia who has already knocked Khan from pillar to post and out ....Night,night!

yet, they were trying to get a 5th fight with marquez. yes, the same marquez that put manny to sleep (and having fans from other fighters ride off of it like their fighter was the one to do it). so your logic of roach keeping pac from power puncher goes out the window.

Marquez... Really? Are they planning on signing him out the retirement home he's currently living in?

Notice you only pick one thing to try and refute. I mentioned other things they're avoiding.

what? "puncher" has Pac fought since JMM left him for dead?

well, werent pac and his team calling for a 5th marquez fight? so if pac is avoiding pucnhers, why is his team and him calling out marquez for a 5th fight? yes, the very same marquez that left manny for dead and supposedly made him afraid to face a puncher.

because this is the same guy that put him to sleep!! which is what you guys are using saying since marquez pac has been avoiding punchers. so if that's the case then why is he trying to get a 5th fight against the very same guy that supposedly made him afraid to face a puncher?? LOL!!! what is there to avoid?

Let's be clear, they're not really jumping through hoops to try and fight Marquez again. Marquez already said he's not fighting Pacquiao again so we all know it's not happening. The Crawford fight is real easy to make. Why are they mentioning the likes of Horn and Khan? Again punching power is just one of the attributes I mentioned. Beside the brutal KO, Marquez isn't really known as puncher so there's no reason to avoid him if his team think that was just fluke.

We've seen this from Roach all the time. He'll throw out a name here and there knowing there's no real plan of making the fight.

thurman beats him at this stage. dont know why everyone ****s on thurman. seems to look the business to me so far.

[uppercut510]

pac would beat kieth imo but one punch can change it

Respeck!

A non biased, general fan of the sport would never discredit what pacquiao has done for the sport. He accomplished everything and entertained millions. hes done it all. Yes hes lost a couple times, been stopped, had behind the scenes drama, like anyone else has, but the guy is a great role model, although a tad too extreme with religion for my taste, but he deserve all the praise he gets. i mean to come back from such a brutal ko and still be on top is a rare thing.

Well said...
