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

[SUBZER0ED]

"I think he's an up-and-coming guy, there's a lot of hype out there." - Freddy Roach. Garcia's 36-0, 30 KOs. "Up-and-coming???

[GhostofDempsey]

not true. Arum made cotto take the fight at 145. Margs at 151.

Arum didn't force Cotto to do anything. Margarito agreed to the weight and then blew up to 165 on the night of the fight. Meanwhile, Floyd fails to make weight for Marquez who was already coming up two weight classes. Demanded a still green Canelo at 152. Let's not be hypocritical of Manny without acknowledging other fighters who have demanded CW such as Hopkins, Leonard, Canelo, and Cotto. If they're all doing it they can't cry about it.

The only notable, and it's not so great, person Crawford beat is Postol. That makes him a top 5 p4p fighter? Good grief. I won't be asking you to pick my Powerball numbers.

What are you even talking about? He is champion in multiple divisions. The people that rank p4p have him consistently in the top 5-10. if you have an issue, take it up with them, not me for pointing this out.

You posted that Manny made weight for all of his fights and no one forced his opponents to accept the CW. I responded to your post.

Now that its been proven wrong you want to deflect to other fighters CW's.

Sad.

But yet you agree with it? Crawford has beaten NOBODY. Put him in with Danny Garcia, Lucas Matthysse, hell, even Broner. If he can fight through them, I'll give him credit. Until then, he's 100% hype job with nothing to back it up.

Crawford is the B-side against ANY top JWW.

Dude, seriously go away. I pointed out where he is ranked, no more no less.

Above Cliff has him ranked #7 p4p earlier this year.TBRB has him ranked currently #5 p4p. Write them and complain.

Typical Manny fan. His trainer expresses wanting to fight a LW and you suggest Mikey doesn't want it. Why would he, he is probably thinking about fighting other LW champs.

Would be nice if Team Manny was thinking about fighting other WW champs.

Interested in the links...... because they have called for those fights.

I hold all of Pacquiao's matchmaking historically on Arum. If not for Arum, his last six years would not have been such crap.

At any point, Arum could've matched him up against Ortiz, Guerrero, Berto, or Garcia and blown them out of the water, but the Bobfather decided to keep it in his own house against lackluster opposition.

Atleast he had the balls to let Bradley with Chaves or Vargas fight Ali & Brook. Seems as if we'll get the same crap with Crawford. Really? John ****ing Molina and Hank Lundy?

I know this is prolly just talk, but that would be such a sick fight...

Floyd had some catch weights too, in fact, he never bothered to make weight for his CW fight with Marquez.

Manny made weight for all of his fights and no one forced his opponents to accept the CW. Cotto was champ and agreed to 145, his fight prior he weighed in at 146, so one pound really made a difference? Manny was coming up in weight. He fought all of his toughest opponents at their weight.

Floyd? lol why is he coming up? and the red is not true
