Comments Thread For: Roach Yearns For Manny Pacquiao vs. Mikey Garcia in The Fall

[The Big Dunn]

I think you are being deliberately obtuse. I've answered your question. Thurman has expressed his intentions to fight the winner of Brook/Spence. He has also expressed his willingness to fight Pac. From an entertainment perspective I think Pac/M. Garcia is more entertaining given their styles. If Thurman chooses to adopt the same approach that he did versus D. Garcia, it can be a boring fight if he isn't willing to engage.

Brook has expressed his intentions of moving up to 154 very soon, so there may not be any more fights for him at 147 looking ahead.

Crawford is fighting Diaz at 140. He needs to win that fight first. I think a fight with Crawford and Manny is a good fight, but probably not the most compelling or exciting. Bud moving up would still have the size advantage over Pac, as well as youth. You have no problem with other fighters having a size advantage but you feel Pac should not have one over Garcia, which as I already proved to you, he wouldn't.

I'm not being obtuse, you are not giving a straight answer for obvious reasons. Manny is a WW champ, the discussion of opponents should start with other ww champs then top ww's.

What does "an entertainment perspective" mean? All of the fights would be entertaining if both guys come to fight. You seem to think Manny has the best chance to beat Mikey so you suggest this fight.

We are talking about Manny's next fight which is Nov/Dec. No one has anything set. The Brook/Spence winner, Thurman or Crawford would all be available.

You didn't prove anything. I posted he should fight other ww, the division where he is champ.

That's cute that people are arguing about whether Pacquiao should fight Garcia or guys like Thurman. As if any of those are realistic options. The dude who's fighting Horn isn't looking to take on any challenges in the near future.

Why doesnt pac man ever fight any current ww champs???????? don't bring up Floyd either

[bigdunny1]

If WW was dead division I could maybe understand this. But147 is LOADED with great fights for Manny. And you have a in house p4p fighter at 140 in crawford. Too many great welterweight and 140 fights so why the phuk is roach talking about going to 135 to find and opponet? And why is Manny wasting his time fighting bums like horn? SMH

I for one don't see why Broner isn't jumping at the chance to fight Manny. He is likely to lose but his schtick would drive sales of the PPV by allowing Manny to play the ggod guy role against the evil, arrogant, loud mouth.

he could always get lucky and land a punch if he actually took training camp seriously.

I have said the same thing. Career high payday.
4 mil plus ppv percentage

How is Bradley not an "A-Class" fighter? He's only lost to Manny - the GOAT, you Fem Cuck.

I hope you were being sarcastic calling Manny the GOAT.

Roach just needs to shut up, spews nothing but crap these days.

First Pacquaio has to train hard for months and get past the ultra-dangerous undefeated powe punching Jeff Horn lol

[bojangles1987]

What's funny is that Arum was probably hoping to make this back before Garcia's layoff. Just like he wanted to with Gamboa. He's wanted "the next Pacquiao" to move up and fight Pacquiao for years.

He tried making a fight with Danny Garcia, Danny ran the other way when offered his highest payday yet. He fought Vargas and won a title this year. Brook stepped up to fight GGG so his belt was on the shelf and now he's fighting Spence. Thurman fights once per year.
